Firefighters make progress against Post Fire in Gorman amid high temps

The Post Fire was threatening nearby structures and prompted the evacuation of about 1,200 people from the Hungry Valley State Vehicular Recreation Area. The wind continued pushing the flames south toward Pyramid Lake, which was also closed, and street closures were in place south of Ralphs Ranch Road at Quail Lake Road.

Additionally, evacuation warnings were issued for areas south of Pyramid Lake between Old Ridge Route and the L.A. County line, including Paradise Ranch Estates.

"We have 1,200 people evacuated, and no plans for any other evacuations at the moment," said Little. "But this is a dynamic situation."

"Just be ready as far as evacuations are concerned. Have all of your important items ready to go at a moment's notice."

The Post Fire in the Gorman area is also threatening the Sespe Condor Sanctuary.

The U.S. Forest Service maintains the 53,000-acre property north of Fillmore, where more than 200 of the majestic endangered birds live.

Some California condors were spotted flying over the scene of the fire.

There were no reports of direct damage to the sanctuary, but authorities are keeping a close eye on the situation.

A fast-moving fire in Lancaster expanded to the edge of residential neighborhoods and apparently burned some structures.

The Max Fire broke out Sunday afternoon near 80th Street West and Avenue K. Crews were eventually able to get it under control before it spread further.

The blaze was first reported just after 6 p.m. Saturday near the 1800 block of Highway 173. Since then, the fire has jumped from 300 acres to 1,131.

The fire is 20% contained.

An evacuation warning was in place for homes in the Arrowhead Equestrian Estates area.
