Additional firefighting units were brought in to battle a brush fire that flared up in Castaic near Lake Hughes Road as multiple units struggled to stop a fire in Tick Canyon from destroying homes in the Shadow Pines area.
The Castaic fire broke out at 3:14 p.m. Thursday off the northbound lanes of Interstate 5 near Lake Hughes Road, said Marvin Lim, spokesman for the Los Angeles County Fire Department.
“Additional resources were brought in for this one,” he said, noting none of the resources devoted to the Tick Fire were removed.
“They’re not going to take away from the personnel at the Tick Fire,” Lim said.
At 3:30 p.m. the Lake Hughes Fire had burned 3 acres.
“It was reported to be running in heavy winds,” Lim said.
After-school classes at Castaic High School were cancelled shortly after news of the Lake Hughes Fire was released.
