A fast-moving brush fire in the Antelope Valley prompted shelter-in-place orders and evacuation warnings Saturday.
The fire broke out around midday Saturday near the unincorporated Antelope Acres community, and was driven by strong winds. Online reports had it burning about 150 acres by 1:30 p.m.
“I am closely monitoring the fast-moving Corral Fire impacting communities in the Antelope Valley,” said Los Angeles County Supervisor Kathryn Barger, who represents the area. “Los Angeles County Fire Department personnel are actively responding to protect lives, homes, and property.
“I urgently urge all residents in affected areas to heed every evacuation order and shelter-in-place directive issued by emergency officials. Please remain vigilant, stay informed through official public safety alerts, and do not underestimate the danger posed by rapidly changing fire conditions.”
The National Weather Service said gusts could reach as high as 60 mph in the Antelope Valley on Saturday.
