Incident Overview
The Devore Fire began at 10:55 am on Monday November 5th adjacent to
the northbound Interstate 15 freeway between the Kenwood and Cleghorn
exits.
The first US Forest Service engine company on scene reported the fire
had grown to five acres with a moderate to rapid rate of spread in
steep rocky terrain.
The fire burnt in a south southeast direction along the northbound
Interstate 15 freeway, prompting fire and law enforcement officials to
close the northbound Interstate 15 freeway to all traffic. The winds
pushed embers across Interstate 15and started a 30 acre spot fire on
the west side of the freeway, whichforced officials to also close the
southbound Interstate 15. The fire burned approximately 350 acres
before firefighters were able to stop the forward progression of
thefire.
During the course of the firefight, three residences in the Mathews
Ranch were evacuated and no damage was reported at the ranch.

Bernardino County Fire, and the SanBernardino Sheriff Department until
6:00 p.m.
CalTrans and CHP have opened 2 lanes each direction of Interstate 15 -
motorists are urged to be cautious and delay travel if possibleas
