Residents who lost homes in the Mountain Fire speak with KTLA

[@SprucedandGussied]

This is so so sad. The strength and composure of this woman. Im so glad she was able to rescue her dogs. Praying for her and all who have lost homes, pets, life and for the firefighters that are doing their best given these incredibly dangerous conditions.

It’s really crummy that 100-year-old house was burned. What a special place. I grew up in the area and have always wanted to live in an old house like that. My grandpa was a ranch manager in Oxnard and my grandparents lived in a very old house on the ranch.

[@juliepeterson6639]

@genxx2724: I was born in Oxnard and lived in Ventura and Ojai, I’m in the Pacific Northwest now, and I’m heartbroken, as I still have a lot of family in Ventura County, and I haven’t heard anything yet (I respect that they are busy with this mess) My maternal Grandmother and family, grew up at Limoniera Ranch, (citrus) and lived in the house there. My Great Grandmother cooked all day to feed the awesome workers who were so lovely. I am praying that they can get this firestorm out. Have a great night.

[@genxx2724]

@@juliepeterson6639 That’s really cool. my grandpa managed the ranch that was on Rice Rd. near Wooley Rd. I grew up in the Las Posas Estates, which burned yesterday. Who would have imagined. That is definitely not a geologically sensitive area. My parents moved to the Santa Barbara area a couple of years ago, so they invited their neighbors who evacuated Camarillo to stay with them. The neighbors declined, but at least they knew they were welcome. And my parents’ new place is along the creek that flooded a few years ago killing numerous people. I wish they’d stayed in the other house. But now, maybe not so much . . . 🤷🏻‍♀ It’s very nice talking to you. I wish we could know each other in person.

[@stevegonzales527]

so when are they going to tell us who started this fire? this fire started up as soon as the sun was rising. there wasnt enough sun to start a brush fire.

[@williamlloyd3769]

Most wildfires are caused by lighting strikes (not in this case), otherwise electrical wires (SCE replaced all our local distribution grid, all wires are plastic coated now), cars stopping on bush, people cutting brush, etc. PS -118 freeway is always having brush fires from discarded cigarets and sparks from trucks, etc.

[@SlimJim-bw3ib]

I mean wind alone can start alot of things. Heavy vegetation can rub together and start a spark, power line could have been damaged and started a spark, who knows. A person could have started it by throwing away a cigarettte butt, use outdoor bbq (yes some people do that in the morning)... Either way, if a person started it, needs to be HEAVILY fined. We live in a fire prone area, not to mention we were in a firewatch warning.

[@Paddyjay12]

Can a firefigher or some kind of professional, please explain this to us? Why are we looking at homes burnt and nothing around it touched? The embers are floating and they are strong enough to light entire homes on fire? It doesn't make sense to me.

[@LilHoss4k]

@@Paddyjay12 probably due to the wind direction

[@andrewsanchez4684]

Houses are just more flammable than trees and bushes that have natural water content. The brush did burn as well. Everything else wasn't untouched by the fire.

[@Reynahi-y3w]

Odd that the two of you (op comment, and the comment beneath) have no conceptualization of who you live on/ in. You’re going to learn. God is beyond your comprehension, and the trees did nothing to piss her off, nor violate her boundaries. You are so disconnected and detached from GOD that you think ant men and tech caused this. Do your research. Because she will no longer tolerate boundary violations.

Yikes, I just left California a few months ago, and fires like these were one of the reasons I left. I lived on hillsides, and we had two close calls with fires in the last five years. My insurance went up about 275% in three years. I expected to be canceled by the insurance company this year. We have many close family and friends in this fire region.
