The Mountain Fire burning in Ventura County did not expand significant overnight into Friday, and was still mapped at roughly 20,500 acres, according to Cal Fire. The damage however, is already catastrophic with more than 130 homes destroyed.

Santa Ana winds which caused the fire to spread rapidly have subsided, giving crews a chance to build containment lines. Containment was 7% as of Friday morning, officials sais.

“The fire is burning in steep, rugged terrain, with dry and receptive fuels, which have challenged containment efforts,” Cal Fire said in a status update Friday. “Fire activity moderated due to the decrease in winds over the fire. The fire continued to back in areas where it had not been tied into control lines.”

Damage inspection crews announced on Thursday that 132 homes had been destroyed in the fire, and that number is expected to increase as inspection crews continue their work Friday.

Among the losses was a mid-century home that belonged to the Wallace family for more than 60 years.

“Yesterday, we watched for three hours as it burned,” Tara Wallace, who lives in Camarillo Heights with her husband Brian Wallace, told KTLA. “It was a beautiful home with a beautiful view of a beautiful city, and now it is ash.”

Evacuation orders remain in place for more than 10,000 residents. A complete list of evacuation orders and zones can be found on vcemergency.com. An evacuation center has been opened at Padre Serra Parish on 5205 Upland Rd. in Camarillo.

On Thursday, Gov. Gavin Newsom declared a State of Emergency due to the Mountain Fire and announced that FEMA approved a grant to support the firefight.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation. A Mountain Fire information hotline is available by calling 805-465-6650.
