Dora Fire Races Through Antelope Valley, Prompts Evacuation Warnings and Highway 138 Closure

Dry winds and rugged terrain in the area increase the chance the blaze will grow and require more resources to contain.

Overview

  • A fast‑moving brush fire called the Dora Fire started near West Avenue D and 210th Street West and expanded rapidly into remote brush between Neenach and Lancaster.
  • Fire officials put the blaze at roughly 750–850 acres with 0% containment as crews escalated the response to a two‑alarm incident.
  • Evacuation warnings were issued for nearby zones including LAC‑E1641 and authorities ordered a hard closure of Highway 138 from Lancaster Road to 120th Street West.
  • Officials said no structures have been reported threatened in the warned area at this time and there have been no injuries reported.
