A brush fire which charred more than 180 acres of land in Ventura County, and forced a handful of evacuations is now fully contained.
The Casitas Fire broke out just before 4 p.m. Monday north of Lake Casitas, near Highway 150.
Several small ranch homes in the area were threatened, but firefighters were able to protect them. No houses were lost.
The fire was 100% contained Tuesday afternoon. The cause of the blaze is under investigation.
