Smoke from a brush fire has forced the evacuations of Six Flags Magic Mountain and Six Flags Hurricane Harbor amusement parks near Los Angeles
LOS ANGELES — Billowing smoke from a brush fire led officials at the Six Flags Magic Mountain and Six Flags Hurricane Harbor amusement parks to order evacuations for unhealthy air on Sunday.
"Six Flags Magic Mountain and Hurricane Harbor are currently being evacuated due to the Sky Incident brush fire. The safety and well being of our guests and team members is our top priority," the parks' management said at about 12:30 p.m. The parks issued the evacuation alert at about the same time the California Highway Patrol temporarily closed off-ramps on Interstate 5 at Magic Mountain Parkway, creating confusion for about an hour as parks visitors found some of their evacuation routes blocked off.
