Overview
- Firefighters first reported a fast-moving brush fire near the 6700 block of Holser Canyon Road that grew rapidly from an initial small estimate to about 167 acres.
- Authorities issued evacuation orders and warnings for multiple zones in Ventura County and parts of Los Angeles County to protect residents near Lake Piru.
- More than 200 firefighters plus multiple helicopters and fixed-wing water-dropping aircraft were assigned to the incident and crews said they were making excellent progress.
- No injuries have been reported and it is unclear whether structures were immediately threatened; the cause of the fire remains under investigation.
- The blaze burned light-to-medium brush in a region prone to fast fire spread, and officials say the early arrival of aerial resources helped slow growth while the situation remains developing.
