A new fire broke out Wednesday night along the 405 Freeway in Brentwood.
A new fire broke out Wednesday night along the 405 Freeway in the Sepulveda Pass. The fire was burning on the east side of the 405 near the Sepulveda Fire Road. Winds were at about 5 mph, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department. Multiple fire engines were on the scene. Traffic could be seen crawling along the 405 as the flames burned on an adjacent hillside.
The Sepulveda fire comes amid a busy day for firefighters. A huge fire exploded Wednesday north of Castaic, charring more than 10,000 acres and forcing thousands to flee their homes amid a month of extreme fire conditions that have plagued Southern California. The Hughes fire started off Lake Hughes Road just before 11 a.m. and quickly prompted evacuation orders in and around Castaic Lake, which by afternoon extended toward Ventura County to the west and near Sandberg to the north.
