A DC-10 dropping fire retardant has joined in the battle against the latest fire in Ventura County, said said Bill Nash of the Ventura County Fire Department.
Evacuations have been ordered in the city of Moorpark for the Meridian Hills neighborhood off of Walnut Canyon Road, and in the unincorporated area of Moorpark, from Balcom Canyon to Happy Camp Road.
Evacuations were also ordered in unincorporated area of Fillmore, in the Bardsdale/Sespe area.
Large animals can be being evacuated to the Ventura County Fairgrounds. Small animals can be taken to Animal Regulation Headquarters at the Camarillo Airport.
The cause is not confirmed. Ventury County Fire is carrying out a very active investigation, and they are looking at a number of possible causes.

Tender Greens
Tender Greens is like your favorite rock band where you want to keep it a secret but also hope for tremendous success. And successful it is. Healthy and tasty salads and veggies, lean cuts of steak, chicken and tuna all served up in a 'fast food' style and price tag - but in a much better environment and quality. The flatiron angus steak with Yukon Gold potatoes top out my list. I also love to get the line caught ahi tuna with a baby spinach and goat cheese salad - quite tasty when I'm shooting for lighter fare. Makes for a nice and not-too-expensive dinner, and an excellent lunch as well.

We constantly hear about people, horses, and domestic animals caught in the fire areas. I would like to hear something about what is happening to the large number of wildlife being affected in the major fires we have had over the last 2 months.
