A wildfire fueled by strong winds is ravaging Southern California. The Mountain Fire has led to an evacuation order affecting more than 10,000 people. Ventura County, and more specifically the area of Camarillo, is the most affected. So far, the fire has destroyed homes, businesses, and agricultural areas.
On Wednesday, California Governor Gavin Newsom issued the following statement: "This is a dangerous fire that's spreading quickly and threatening lives. State resources have been mobilized to protect communities, and this federal support from the Biden-Harris Administration will give state and local firefighters the resources they need to save lives and property as they continue battling this aggressive fire."
The fire remains uncontained. Click through the following gallery to see images of the Mountain Fire.
