This is CBS. I on the world. I'm John Batchel. Jeff Bliss is Pacific Watch. We go immediately to Ventura County. Jeff, a fire, 7% contained. What does that mean? Good evening to you.

Good evening, John. It does not mean anything good right now. Of course, any percentage is better than nothing, but this is a wildfire

by any definition. It broke out a couple days ago in the Moore Park area and had a fire joined

with together in Camarillo. It's actually just one fire. They're not counting it as a complex fire

multi-fire right now. But we have this fire that

spread out from Moore Park and Santa Paula and Camarillo, which are in Ventura County. In Ventura County

is the county just north of Los Angeles County. It has an extensive coastline, it has mountains,

it has decent-sized cities and towns in it.

And this is a bad fire.

This fire has come through and already wiped out.

I think I last heard over 130 residences and structures, and some of these are in very pricey areas.

So we don't even know what the money, you know, the toll is going to be yet. I don't believe we've had anybody

lose their life, but there have been a few injuries. But they are throwing everything they can

at it. The air assets, the planes and the helicopters dropping water and fire retardant. They have a lot

of hand crews in there trying to fight it on the ground. And they have others coming in from other

areas throughout the state through mutual aid agreements.

But what they really need is for the winds to calm down.

The winds have been the biggest problem and driver of this.

We've had throughout Southern California, what we call San Ana winds, seasonal winds,

that often play a role in these big wildfires.

In this case, they had, you know, winds were probably in the 50, 60-mile-an-hour range. So when you had fires in one place, the winds would pick up burning embers

and transport them sometimes miles to where they would ignite another fire in an area
