The second-alarm fire is being fueled by strong winds gusting through the area, firefighters said.
Firefighters are working to contain a rapidly burning brush fire on South Mountain in Moorpark, which they say is being fueled by strong winds blowing through the area. The blaze, being referred to as the Mountain Fire, was first reported at around 8:50 a.m. near the 7900 block of Balcom Canyon Road and Bradley Road, according to the Ventura County Fire Department. 'Strong winds in the area are contributing to challenging conditions,' VCFD said.
The fire comes in the midst of severe winds battering much of Southern California, which prompted National Weather Service officials to issue Red Flag Warnings. In this particular instance they issued a 'Particularly Dangerous Situation' alert because of the threat posed by 'an ongoing or imminent fire weather pattern.'SkyCal flew over the scene of the fire, where multiple structures could be seen burning.
