Residents of the Wrightwood area in San Bernardino County were ordered to evacuate Saturday afternoon after a fire broke out.

Evacuations were mandatory for those who lived on Pacific Crest Drive between Zermatt Drive and Lone Pine Canyon Road, according to Cindy Bachman, spokesperson for the San Bernardino County Sheriff’s Department.

The evacuations were lifted around 5:30 p.m.

San Bernardino County fire officials reported the vegetation fire just after 12:15 p.m. at Pacific Crest and Zermatt drives.

Highway 2 at Wright Mountain Road was shut down as a result of the blaze and entry to the area was blocked, Bachman tweeted.

Earlier reports confirmed the fire was holding at 7 acres, but has since grown to 11 acres, according to the Angeles National Forest Twitter page.
