Cal Fire has recognized the Ventura County Fire Protection District as a fire risk reduction community, effective now through July 2028. This is important because (a) VCFPD is the agency responsible for fire prevention and response in Thousand Oaks and (b) recognition brings priority consideration for Cal Fire’s Wildfire Prevention Grants and helps inform wildfire risk ratings.

VCFD is running goats in Simi Valley for fire clearance. (at least, goats will not CAUSE a wildfire, like the brush hogs have been this year...) (Long Canyon)

Ventura County Fire Department personnel are working to suppress a brush fire in the area of San Telmo Circle and Lesser Drive in Newbury Park. Currently the Lesser Fire is at 1-2 acres burned, and fortunately winds are near zero.

VCFD requesting law enforcement at St. John's hospital. 😬 #LagunaIncident #VCFD

In more pleasant news, someone called 911 earlier for someone unconscious (as is tradition), and it was just someone sleeping. (not sure if it was in a car or in a hammock, or whatever) #VenturaCounty #VCFD

It sounds like a significant resource load on VCFD at the moment due to civilian injuries on Laguna Road (feds fired tear gas and less-lethal weapons at civilians in the area earlier; unclear on current status there). #VenturaCounty #ICE #Oxnard #Camarillo #VCFD

Lost hiker near Pine Mountain Club, air unit is on scene (maybe ground units as well). 7/4/25 2026 #SearchAndRescue #SAR #VenturaCounty #VCFD

VCFD firefighters apparently had to rescue an owl out of a fireplace this week (owl released safely and uninjured). #owl #VenturaCounty #VCFD

Another report of a vegetation fire at Victoria (however, it appears to be in the same spot of last week's vegetation fire next to the golf course... they have been dealing with "smokers" there for a week). #VCFD #VegetationFire 1/22/25 2005

Large response of fire trucks to Oak Park the last hour or so is an apartment fire (they were still trying to find the smoke the last I checked. Not a brush fire). Riverstone Apartments. #OakPark #VCFD #VenturaCounty

Oooh, livestreaming drone over South Mountain right now 👀 (looking for a hotspot from the Mountain Fire, I believe). #drone #firefighting #VCFD
