Springs Fire - Ventura County CA

The Springs fire, started on May 2, has burned about 10,000 acres and is at 10 percent containment. According to the incident information from CAL FIRE which I obtained at 4:30 EDT on May 3 (info is updated once or twice a day and may be different):

• damaged structures: 15 residences, 15 outbuildings, and 5 commercial properties
• 4,000 residences, 300 commercial properties and 50 outbuildings are threatened
• Evacuations in effect
• Aircraft: 6 airtankers and 8 helicopters

According to this LA Times article airtankers were grounded for a time yesterday due to high winds. Red Flag warnings are in effect today for LA County.

updated on July 18, 2013: video that I had embedded reporting on the Springs Fire is no longer available. :-(
