HESPERIA, Calif. — Officials lifted evacuation orders for 1,500 homes Saturday as firefighters gained the upper hand on a fast-moving wildfire that erupted in dry grass along the main interstate between Southern California and Las Vegas.
The fire grew to over 1,100 acres, or nearly 2 square miles, jumping the freeway and burning chaparral in rolling hills that form the nearby San Bernardino National Forest and rural areas of San Bernardino County. Nearly 750 firefighters surrounded 60 percent of the blaze, said U.S. Forest Service spokesman John Miller.
