People in No. LA and Central Cali

[enserio]

I wanna know if any of the freeways were closed this past weekend due to the fires. I had a big function and my family in Fresno said they couldn't make it due to the fires. I checked the CHP website the day they tld me this shit, but couldn't find anything. Lemme know if their excuse is legit or they were just bullshitting.

I'm not sure which freeways are closed, but I'm sure their story was legit. It's the biggest fire in the nation right now. I believe it burned around 800+ acres so far.

Brush Fire Again Closes I-5 Near Castaic
The blaze in the Los Padres forest has consumed about 24,000 acres since it began on Labor Day.
By J. Michael Kennedy, Times Staff Writer
September 13, 2006

For the second time in as many days, firefighters closed Interstate 5 near Castaic as an out-of-control brush fire in the Los Padres National Forest grew to almost 24,000 acres.

The freeway closure sent thousands entering and leaving Los Angeles County onto alternate smaller highways, adding hours to the drive through the brush-laden hills around Pyramid Lake.
