HAPPENING NOW: Ventura County fire burns over 8,000 acres

A fast-moving fire burning near Moorpark has triggered mandatory evacuation orders and road closures as forecasters warned of potential for "extreme and life-threatening blazes." The Mountain Fire — which has scorched about 9,000 acres at last check — was reported around 9:40 a.m PT on South Mountain, near the 7900 block of Balcom Canyon and Bradley Road.

Prayers for all fire fighters that they will be safe.

I'd bet a nickle that the fire was intentionally set.

The aerial filming shows fires that seems like individualized, picking some homes and not going expanding as flames normally behave (?)

Just me, reporting from inside a raging fire

Someone should help that home owner, he is walking around looking like he is in shock, if so, he may not be in a mental state to make a smart decision like leaving when he absolutely needs to!

trees not burning butt houses are, , bs

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen such absurd reporting. There’s no reason to have a woman in a gas mask in harms way like this.

It would be so messed up if this was all a ploy to get people to watch a Netflix show!

[alisagrant]

Ally Carter was right. I wonder what was here.🤔

I just don't understand year after year knowing these places have the potential to catch fire why do people still continue to move into these areas or build homes in these areas knowing that this is going to happen at some point in your life? It's not a question is it going to happen when is it going to happen in your life. Why would you want to do this to yourself and put your family through this? I just don't get it. People see this all the time on the news but they continue to stay where they're at and then all the sudden they're a victim. If you're going to build in these areas you should self-insure yourself. If you have the money to build in these areas these oversized homes then you can self-insure yourself. Why should everybody else's insurance rates go up because of people wanting to live in these areas and then insurance companies have to pay billions of dollars to pay out these claims. I'm glad a lot of insurance companies are not paying for a lot of this stuff anymore or paying just pennies on the dollar to cover this. Hopefully this is a wake-up call to stay out of these areas and stop driving everybody else's insurance rates up that live in non-fire prone areas.
I don't know if this is a status thing, or a me me me me me me all about me attitude, or keeping up with the Jones's status quo. But it just needs to stop. Because now we all have to pay the price with higher insurance premiums.
