A wildfire called the Danny Fire erupted near the I-5 Freeway in Southern California Thursday afternoon, burning up to 10 acres by 4:30 p.m., according to Watch Duty.

The blaze was initially reported at around 2 acres shortly after 4:15 p.m. with a moderate rate of spread, posing an immediate threat to structures within 15 to 20 minutes from its start.
