Firefighters have been battling a flareup of the Woolsey Fire burning in the Santa Monica Mountains, and as of 11 a.m. have gained the upper hand.
The fire is burning near Yerba Buena Road, west of Lake Sherwood, and near Mount Boney, a popular hiking area for the Conejo Valley.
The Ventura County Fire Department launched an aggressive containment effort involving the use of six different aircraft.
Some of the water-dropping aircraft were even able to refill their tanks from the Lake Sherwood reservoir itself.
Mandatory evacuations were ordered East of Las Posas Road and South of Potrero Road to Pacific Coast Highway, and also White Stallion Road north of PCH.
