Ventura County firefighters are mopping up a small, but highly visible brush fire off of Highway 101 near Camarillo.
The two to three acre blaze is south of Highway 101, on the Conejo Grade. It was spotted just before 5 a.m. Monday. No homes were threatened, but the rugged terrain made it tough to fight.
Firefighters relied on helicopters to make the initial attack because of the remoteness of the blaze. They stopped the spread of the fire at around 7:45 a.m.
There are no strong winds, but the heat could make it tough for ground crews brought in to help with mop up efforts.
There's no word on the cause of the fire.
