The order included a recreational-vehicle park near the King Fire’s ignition site. Beyond the shelter-in-place zone, evacuation warnings were issued.
I-5 was briefly closed in both directions, but by 4 a.m. some lanes were reopened.
Around sunrise Thursday, Aug. 14, the fire was mapped at 490 acres with 5% containment, the Los Angeles County Fire Department said. It was burning on the east side of the freeway just north of Pyramid Lake.
