A brush fire which at one point sent smoke billowing across Highway 101 in Ventura County during the morning communte is now 60% contained.
The Olivas Fire started just after 4 a.m. Friday in the Santa Clara River bed, near the Highway 101-Victoria Avenue interchange. No structures were threatened.
But, the rugged terrain and lack of access to the area on the Ventura-Oxnard border has made the 200 acre plus blaze tough to fight.
