I-15 was closed through the Cajon Pass due to wildfire; set to reopen in about 15 minutes

The Hill fire has burned 500 acres. It started right at the I-15/CA-138
interchange and closed both sides of I-15 for a while. Northbound lanes
have been open, but I-15 traffic to Vegas is very slow. Southbound lanes
are set to open at 7pm (15 minutes from now), according to Caltrans.

Even if you're not one of my Facebook friends, you should be able to see
this photo, taken from my driveway, as long as you're logged in to
Facebook.

That's not a cloud deck above the house across the street. It's SMOKE,
and keep in mind, I live 20 miles northeast of the fire.

I saw a clip on TV that said one lane was closed because it was
covered in fire retardant. How do they clean that stuff up?

Damned if I know. But one of the most popular video clips on the local
news was of a car traveling (I think) north on I-15 that was covered in
fire retardant. You're in Orange County; you probably saw it.
