Thousands of residents were forced to flee a fast-moving wildfire, called the Mountain Fire, consumed dozens of homes in several Ventura County communities. The out-of-control brush fire broke out near the 7900 block of Balcom Canyon Road and Bradley Road at approximately 9:30 a.

It’s unclear how many homes have been destroyed by the Mountain Fire. Officials said they plan to send out damage assessment support teams who will be going door-to-door in the communities impacted by the fire.
