GORMAN, California — Firefighters with air support scrambled to control a wind-driven wildfire that erupted Thursday morning in hills along Interstate 5 in northwestern Los Angeles County, officials said. The King Fire, which broke out around 1 a.m., charred nearly a square mile of tinder-dry brush in a lightly populated area about 60 miles north of downtown LA. …The blaze is burning a few miles north of the Canyon Fire, which prompted evacuations, destroyed seven structures and injured three firefighters after breaking out Aug. 7. …The Gifford Fire, California’s largest blaze so far this year, has scorched nearly 207 square miles of Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo counties since erupting on Aug. 1. It was 41% contained on Thursday. …Wildfire risk is elevated because Southern California has seen very little rain, drying out vegetation and making it “ripe to burn,” the National Weather Service for Los Angeles warned in a statement last week.
