Current Situation
Situation Summary
Crews worked throughout the night to improve defensive positions and further secure the fire’s perimeter. Overnight fire activity was minimal as firefighters worked to continue strengthening existing control lines.
Firefighters will continue to enhance, monitor and patrol existing control lines, addressing heat sources as they occur while providing structure defense for residences in the affected areas.
Weather today continues to be hot and dry with temperatures in the mid-90’s with relative humidity in the 19-24% range and winds gusting up to 20 mph along ridge tops. Historically dry vegetation contributes to the ongoing potential for rapid fire growth and significant fire behavior.
All evacuation orders have been moved to evacuation warnings in both Los Angeles and Ventura County. All previous evacuation warnings in both areas have been removed.
