California is heating up, and not just because of the summer sun! 🌞 On June 15, a fierce wildfire dubbed the \"Post Fire\" erupted near the Interstate 5 freeway in Gorman, a community northwest of Los Angeles. Fueled by strong winds, the flames spread rapidly, prompting the evacuation of at least 1,200 residents.
The fire started in the afternoon and quickly engulfed thousands of acres, turning the sky into a canvas of smoke and flames. As of June 16, the blaze had scorched approximately 12,265 acres and was only two percent contained. Firefighters are working tirelessly to control the inferno, but the battle is far from over.
\"It was like something out of a movie,\" one resident remarked. \"We grabbed what we could and just ran.\"
With the wildfire season just beginning, communities are on high alert. Stay safe, Californians, and keep an eye on local updates! 🏃♂️🔥
