Number of structures destroyed in Mountain fire jumps to more than 200
Ontario firefighters help dig for items in the rubble of a home that was flattened by the Mountain fire in Camarillo. As firefighters increase containment against Ventura County’s devastating Mountain fire, new access to burned areas has revealed even more damage from the blaze that exploded last week during an exceptional wind event. “The fire is looking really good,” Ventura County Fire Chief Dustin Gardner said late Monday. You may see flare-ups, you may see dustups, and you’re going to feel a lot of ash and dust if you’re down wind from this fire.” Winds could reach up to 35 or 45 mph on some high peaks Tuesday and Wednesday as humidity is expected to drop, creating some more challenging conditions, said Ryan Walbrun, a National Weather Service meteorologist assigned to the Mountain fire. “So far so good,” said Greg Baranek, a spokesperson for unified command responding to the Mountain fire.
