Ventrua County Wildfire 16,000 Acres




There are 214 engine crews, 21 helicopters, and 23 hand crews working a 16,000 wildfire in Ventura County near Filmore. The fire made several large runs today and was spreading to the east pushed by evening onshore winds. The fire is burning in light grass and medium brush and continues to threaten homes. A red flag warning is still in effect for the fire area until Thursday evening. Hot and dry weather will persist even though red flag warning thresholds may not be met.
