One of the many homes destroyed by the Mountain Fire.

Officials say it helped close to 300 households.

The center set up to provide one stop assistance to those impacted by Ventura County’s Mountain brush fire is set to close this weekend.

The Local Assistance Center has helped close to 300 households since November 14. Ventura County, state, federal, and non-profit agencies have had representatives on hand to help with issues like debris removal and finding loans to rebuild.

The center is at the Ventura County Office of Education in Camarillo. It will be open from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday, before permanently closing Saturday night.
