Situation Summary
The fire is burning east with a rapid rate of spread in light to medium fuels. The onshore push is influencing fire behavior, and the fire is threatening 60kv powerlines as well as the communities of Hasley Canyon and Hathaway Ranch, but is moving away from the community of Piru. Ventura County Fire Department is in Unified Command with LA County Fire Department. The fire has now crossed into LA County and continues to spread east toward the community of Val Verde.
