Firefighters are focusing efforts on the northeast portion of the Mountain fire as gusty Santa Ana winds drive flames southwest, threatening homes and agricultural areas.
The fire danger is extremely high, with winds delivering embers over two miles ahead of the flames, which remain at 0% containment, challenging firefighting tactics.
Officials issue new evacuation warnings for Santa Paula while firefighters prepare for a temporary break in winds, before more Santa Ana winds are expected next week.
Ventura County Sheriff emphasizes the importance of evacuation preparedness as conditions remain volatile and the fire continues to threaten local communities.
