Large brush fire erupts in Simi Valley triggering evacuations
A large brush fire erupted in Simi Valley early Wednesday and quickly burned toward neighborhoods, sending thousands fleeing from their homes before dawn amid strong Santa Ana winds.
“The air assets are challenging at best,” Ventura County Fire Capt. Steve Kaufmann said. “You can see a lot of the water that’s coming from the super scoopers is atomized because of the wind. It’s definitely makes it challenging for us.” “One thing is sure,” he said. “They aren’t going to let Reagan’s library burn — and that protects us.”
Hours earlier, thousands of residents fled their homes as wind-whipped flames rapidly consumed large swaths of brush, casting hillsides in an orange glow. “It’s too hard to pack and unpack over and over,” she said. “I’m a very nervous person when I get shaken.” Another wildfire broke out Wednesday in the Riverside County town of Nuevo shortly after 7 a.m. The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection said multiple structures had burned, and authorities have called for more fire engines to battle it.
The air was exceedingly dry throughout Ventura County. Relative humidity was 8% at Sinaloa Lake and 7% in Moorpark.
