Video has surfaced of the drive on the 405 Freeway on Wednesday morning and it is equal parts surreal and terrifying.

“It was dark until I saw a gigantic ball of orange,” I-405 motorist Tiffany Lynette Anderson wrote on Instagram, where she posted a picture of fire raging beside the highway before it was closed. “On absolute fire. I’m grateful to be safe — truly grateful.”

The fire, named the Skirball Fire because of its proximity to the Skirball Cultural Center, is one of many fires raging throughout Southern California.

The forecast is calling for winds to pick up Wednesday night through Thursday morning, posing a greater risk for fires to spread.

Be safe out there and thank you to all of the men and women who are putting their lives on the line to take on these fires.
