LOS ANGELES COUNTY, Calif. - Crews in Los Angeles and Ventura counties have fully contained the Post Fire, which burned more than 15,000 acres in nearly two weeks after breaking out in the Gorman area.

The Post Fire broke out just before 2 p.m. Saturday, June 15 according to Cal Fire, near the southbound lanes of the 5 Freeway, north of Gorman Road. Cal Fire announced the blaze had been contained on June 28, but not before it burned approximately 15,563 acres.

The early portion of the fire fight was focused on how wind speeds would impact the direction and possible size of the blaze.

The Los Angeles County Fire Department fought the fire with the assistance of the Ventura County Fire Department. The blaze entered Ventura County on Sunday, June 16, and consumed about 2,000 acres of wilderness in the southeastern portion of the Las Padres National Forest.
