Firefighters responded to the South Fire, a vehicle fire that spread to brush in Castaic, on Monday morning, shutting down parts of Interstate 5.

Los Angeles County Fire Department personnel first responded to a vehicle fire on southbound Interstate 5, north of Lake Hughes Road, just before 9 a.m., according to fire officials.

A Sigalert was issued, shutting down all southbound lanes of Interstate 5 at the 2,000-foot level for an unknown duration due to the fire, according to California Highway Patrol Officer Peter Nicholson.

Dubbed the South Fire, the blaze threatened structures along Ridge Route Road, fire officials said.

By 9:30 a.m., firefighters had a handle on the fire, canceling the second alarm assignment.
