Hwy. 178 reopens after firefighters douse brush fire
CHP officers reopened Highway 178 through the canyon about 3:45 p.m. Wednesday. Officers shut it down about 12:15 p.m. because of two brush fires.The highway will remain open until 5:30 p.m. or so and then close again for at least another 45 minutes so firefighters can clear their equipment from the area that burned.
California Highway Patrol decided to close the canyon to traffic while firefighters try to douse the flames. There are also reports of falling rocks in the canyon along Highway 178.
Hwy. 178 was closed at the mouth on the Bakersfield side through to the area near Miracle Hot Springs."
