# California wildfire near Piru grows to 80 acres, no evacuations yet 2026-08-08T22:44:19+00:00 | World & Diplomacy | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet A fast-moving wildfire, the Holser Fire, broke out near Piru in California's Ventura County on Saturday afternoon. Starting at about five acres shortly after 1 pm local time, it grew to roughly 80 acres within an hour, fuelled by light brush, steep terrain, temperatures of 34C and gusty winds. Crews from the Ventura County Fire Department, supported by helicopters and US Forest Service air tankers, are battling the blaze near Holser Canyon Road and Tank Farm Road. No evacuation orders have been issued, but officials urge residents to stay alert. Meanwhile, the Ridge Fire in the Gorman area of Los Angeles County has burned over 1,000 acres since Friday. That blaze prompted temporary closures of Interstate 5 and evacuation orders, later downgraded to warnings. As of Saturday morning, the Ridge Fire was 30 percent contained. ## Coverage - timesnownews.com Tags: California wildfire, evacuation, Firefighting, Holser Fire, Ridge Fire, Ventura County Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/california-wildfire-near-piru-grows-to-80-acres-no-evacuations-yet/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
