At around 2 am local time on Saturday in a video posted on Facebook, Venture County Fire Department Captain Steve Kaufman said the fire was near the beach, “bumping up against the roadway”. Voluntary evacuations had begun in Solimar Beach and with campers at Emma Wood State Park, according to reports. Fire officials also said air operations would be used Saturday morning.
According to Ventura County Fire officials, the flames were visible about 150 feet from the sand.
The fire started around 10:30 p.m. Friday, burning about 100 acres in the 3000 block of West Pacific Coast Highway.
The area has been under a high wind warning as gusts in the area reached 55 miles per hour overnight.
Firefighters faced cool, windy conditions Saturday, and a wind advisory issued by the National Weather Service was expected to be in place through noon Sunday.
“Make sure everything is buttoned up tight”, Kaufmann said.
