@WeShallPai A friend sent me a similar photo (from the same intersection, even) but I couldn't tell if it was snow or hail. You're right -- crazy weather!

Shannon is the director of King of Glory Preschool in Newbury Park and said she was watching the #LagunaFire this week in Camarillo, concerned it could come over the hills into NP. She was moved by VCFD's quick work on this and all the other fires the department has jumped on.

@heatherwritesss Navy might have sent help as well. But there IS a VCFD station just blocks from the site. I was "lucky" enough to live across the street from it. (They were great but the engines were loud!)

@BertGridesagain Doesn't look like it's at the port, itself. Looks like it started in a field a little ways from the port.

Our county firefighters are killing it. Forward progress of another fire--this one in Santa Paula-- has been stopped. Thank you, VCFD!
#acaciafire; Forward progress on the fire has been stopped and crews have a wet line around the fire. Firefighters and made a quick and aggressive attack on this fire with multiple engines, one of our handcrews, and coordinated water drops by our Firehawk helicopters. Crews will be remaining on scene another 1-2 hours mopping up hot spots across the fire footprint. Video: One of our Firehawk helicopters making a water drop over the fire.

Easier said than done, but folks with plans to head north need to find a way other than the Grapevine on I-5.
🚧 Traffic Alert🚧 All lanes of northbound & southbound I-5 are CLOSED through the Grapevine due to the Hughes Fire. Northbound lanes are closed at State Route 126. Southbound lanes are closed at Grapevine Road. Use alternate routes. #HughesFire #Grapevine #Interstate5
