Mountain Fire initially started 8:51 a.m. Nov. 6 in Ventura County. It has burned 19,904 acres after being active for 11 days. By Sunday evening, a crew of 66 firefighters effectively contained 98% of the fire. The cause of it is still under investigation.

At least 192 structures were destroyed by a fan-flamed wildfire that quickly spread to more than 20,000 acres in Ventura County, officials announced in a press conference Monday.

The Ventura County District Attorney’s Office is urging residents to monitor and report suspected price gouging in the wake of the Mountain Fire, which has scorched about 20,000 acres and uprooted the lives of hundreds of people.

On Thursday morning, new evacuations were ordered for areas of Santa Paula and Bardsdale, along the Santa Clara River.

At least three other significant brush fires have ignited on the hilly terrain of Ventura County's South Mountain since 2019.

Officials announced that all evacuation warnings for residents affected by the Mountain Fire were lifted as of 3 p.m. Sunday. Evacuation orders were originally issued after the blaze first broke out on Nov.

At least 200 structures, including homes, have been destroyed alongside an additional 90 damaged in the ongoing wind-fanned Mountain Fire in Ventura County, fire officials said Tuesday morning.
