UPDATE: MariaFire fire charges toward Santa Paula neighborhoods, forcing additional evacuations
A large brush fire whipped by lingering Santa Ana winds made a run toward Santa Paula mid-morning Friday, burning uphill toward two mobile home parks just beyond the Santa Clara River as crews rushed to protect the structures.
The fire appeared to change direction Friday morning, sending flames up toward Santa Paula. Strike teams were staging near the Rancho Santa Paula Mobile Home Park and the Anacapa Mobile Home Park off West Santa Maria Street in the event that flames jumped the Santa Clara River, fire officials said. “They’re on top of this,” resident Elizabeth Sylvester said as she left. “They’re doing the best they can. I’m scared. This isn’t the first time we’ve been through this.”
More than 500 firefighters battling the blaze took advantage of lower wind speeds overnight using a helicopter with night-flying capabilities and ground crews to beat back flames along the hillside in an effort to keep the fire from spreading toward homes or consuming nearby avocado and citrus orchards.several times to avoid a drone that was flying in the area, apparently trying to photograph the blaze, McGrath said.
