Crews increased containment of the Mountain Fire to 26% in Ventura County northwest of Los Angeles, up from 21% on Saturday night. The fire’s size remains around 32 square miles
Favourable weather conditions helped fire crews gain more control over a Southern California wildfire that has destroyed 134 structures and damaged dozens more, authorities reported Sunday.
“The fire continues to creep and smoulder in steep rugged terrain. Threats remain to critical infrastructure, highways, and communities,” according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, better known as Cal Fire. Agriculture officials assessing the toll on farmland sown with avocado, citrus and berries estimated the damage at $2.4 million USD, the Ventura County Star reported.
