Small Brush Fire along Interstate 15 Sparked by Vehicle Fire

BAKER, CA. (Pain In The Pass) >> A vehicle fire spread to vegetation along southbound Interstate 15 Saturday afternoon.

The fire started around 1:41pm on July 5, 2025, on southbound I-15 on the Halloran Spring Road offramp.

Fire crews responded to a fully engulfed car fire on the offramp of the freeway. The fire from the car spread to the nearby vegetation on the shoulder of the freeway, turning into a brush fire fueled by the afternoon winds and dry brush.

The black small sedan was destroyed and about an acre of brush was burned, according to San Bernardino County Fire.
