CAL FIRE says that the cause of the fire is “under investigation.”
Doug StanglinSouthern California Edison said it re-energized a 16,000-volt power line minutes before the Maria Fire erupted nearby last week and quickly swelled to 14 square miles.
The Maria Fire in Ventura county, which remains zero contained, threatens about 1,800 homes and other buildings, and prompted evacuation orders for nearly 11,000 people. “As recent fire activity has shown, this remains a dangerous environment for fire growth, even with weaker winds than earlier this week,” the National Weather Service said."It has been an uphill battle ever since," Ventura County Fire Chief Mark Lorenzen said."We are finding that the winds are starting to change and that presents its own challenges all by itself."
