On Wednesday, a rapidly spreading brush fire surged across 14,000 acres in California, destroying homes, vehicles, and forcing evacuations under a red flag warning from the National Weather Service. Ventura County is still under an “extremely critical” wildfire alert, as firefighters work tirelessly to contain the Mountain Fire, which remains 0% contained. According to the Ventura County fire chief, at least two people have been hospitalized for smoke inhalation following the incident.
