Firefighters are continuing to work on containment of a wildfire burning in eastern Ventura County, near Lake Piru.
The Felicia Fire has charred about 350 acres of land. It started just before 1 p.m. Thursday, forcing the evacuation of the Lake Piru Recreation Area.
That order has since been reduced to a warning. Battling the fire has been tough because of high heat and rugged terrain in the area.
Air tankers have played a key role in helping the 500 firefighters battling the fire. They were able to stop the growth of the fire Thursday night, and containment is up to 30% on the fire. There’s no word of any structures being damaged.
