On Wednesday, September 24th, at 10:41 a.m., Fillmore Police Department, Fillmore City Fire, and Ventura County Fire were dispatched to a reported vegetation fire in the Santa Clara River bottom near the A Street bridge. Arriving firefighters found a small brush fire, which they were able to extinguish quickly. On Sunday, September 28th, at 11:47 p.m., the three agencies were sent to a 50’ x 50’ spot fire in the same area. Thanks to our local firefighters’ prompt response, the fire was extinguished. The location of both fires is a homeless encampment. Photo credit Angel Esquivel.
