  1. CANYON FIRE INFORMATION

    Updated on 8//25 at 8:00AM

    The Canyon Fire, which began the afternoon of August 7 near Holser Canyon north of the community of Piru, has burned an estimated 5,400 acres and is 28% contained. Firefighters have transitioned into mop-up operations, focusing on building and strengthening containment lines around the fire and extinguishing remaining hot spots. Overnight progress was aided by favorable weather conditions, and firefighting aircraft continue to provide support as needed.

    Piru Canyon Road has now reopened, and the Lake Piru Recreation Area will reopen today.

    The Ventura County Fire Department and Los Angeles County Fire Department are operating in unified command, in close coordination with the Ventura County Sheriff’s Office, Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department, and other cooperating local, state, and federal agencies. Together, they remain committed to fully securing the fire area.

    All current Evacuation Warnings have been lifted. Please use caution when returning to the area, as numerous public safety vehicles and crews are still operating in the area.

  2. Night flying copters working near Castaic High School and Hasley Canyon. Two other helicopters there are local news stations. Most other radio traffic is routine shuffling of resources, sending strike teams to the base for tomorrow, and they were dealing with a minor medical issue. My last update tonight. There should be a new perimeter map for the Canyon Fire from FIRIS very soon, should post on @disaster_bot when it runs again. 8/7/25 2202 #CanyonFire #LACounty #VenturaCounty #Piru #Wildfires

  3. 9440C Strike Team may be put to work. They are discussing if they can use them or not. Branch 10 says they can use them, but that will be enough. Drop Point 20 is Romero/Hasley Canyon. 8/7/25 2134 #CanyonFire #LACounty #VenturaCounty #Piru #Wildfires

  4. MRB (Mobile Retardant Base) for helicopters is being set up, they are working on a plan for where they will be using night dropping copters. 8/7/25 2109 #CanyonFire #LACounty #VenturaCounty #Piru #Wildfires

  5. Continuing a bit for the Canyon Fire... (mute the hashtag if you don't want to be overwhelmed) Out of area resources (Charlie Strike Teams) arriving. They are "bedding them down" for the night to put them to work first thing in the morning. (which is good news, which means they have no immediate need for them tonight). 8/7/25 2108 #CanyonFire #LACounty #VenturaCounty #Piru #Wildfires
