A fire burning in Los Angeles County has grown to 150 acres, according to an overnight update from fire officials, as the incident continues to develop.
The update, posted by the L.A. County Fire Department

Latest Report Puts Fire at 150 Acres
The department's update did not explain what is driving the fire's spread, how many resources are assigned to the incident, or whether any structures are threatened.
The department identified the incident as #DannyFire, at FS 78 | N 5 Fwy / Hwy 138 #Gorman.
How Residents Can Check Evacuation Status
For general evacuation guidance, the County of Los Angeles's emergency information page notes that residents can check their evacuation status at protect.genasys.com, according to County of Los Angeles. The county has not confirmed whether that tool reflects orders specific to this particular fire.
Separately, the County of Los Angeles Open Data portal cautions that hazard mapping tied to active incidents can shift quickly. The portal notes that fire, evacuation, and other hazard boundaries are approximate and can change rapidly, as reported by County of Los Angeles Enterprise GIS, a reminder that comes as this fire's footprint has already grown since the department's earlier estimate.
Reducing Indoor Smoke
If smoke becomes a concern, portable air cleaners and high-efficiency HVAC filters can help remove smoke particles from indoor air, according to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.
No information was available on containment, cause, injuries, or structural damage as of the department's latest post. Residents in the area are encouraged to monitor official channels for further updates as conditions on the ground continue to evolve.
