VENTURA COUNTY, CA - The Mountain Fire has been burning under dangerous conditions, prompting mandatory evacuations across southern California. As of Thursday night, this fire has now burned over 20k+ acres and has threatened numerous structures, with little containment. The Governor of California has approved FEMA to help ensure resources to Ventura County for this fire.

FEMA is assisting the area devastated on the West Coast by this most recent wildfire. Over 130 homes have been destroyed with another 7,000 being threatened still. Evacuation Orders are still in effect for the area. The same are is facing some Elevated Fire Weather conditions as a front moves through. Winds will kick up, but not nearly to the extent we saw last week.

Dry conditions and gusty winds will allow wildfires to rapidly grow in size and intensity. Outdoor burning is not recommended. In this type of situation gusts up to 60 mph will be possible. Downed trees and power outages will be possible, and you should use extra caution when driving.
