Porter Ranch Fire affects Simi Valley
The Porter Ranch Fire is part of what we see in Southern California almost every fall and with the low rain fall we are ripe for wildfires like we see today. Fortunately Ventura County has very tough standards for home owners who live near fire hazard areas and since many of the neighborhoods that butt up to the bush areas are new developments; those homes benefit from fire-safe building standards like boxed eaves.
The fire looks to have moved to the Box Canyon Area and hopefully the fire will be controlled soon.
The affects to Simi Valley have included the closing of the 118 at Rocky Peak and the Pass Road.
