132 structures destroyed in Southern California wildfire as fierce winds expected to subside
A Southern California wildfire has destroyed 132 structures in less than two days. That’s according to the Ventura County Fire Department. Fire officials said 88 other structures were damaged but did not specify whether they had been burned or affected by water or smoke damage. The fire started Wednesday morning and has grown to about 32 square miles. Some 10,000 people remained under evacuation orders Thursday as the Mountain Fire continued to threaten some 3,500 structures in suburban neighborhoods, ranches and agricultural areas around Camarillo in Ventura County. The fire’s cause has not been determined.
