The Mountain fire made a direct hit on Camarillo Heights, changing everything for the residents who had previously experienced close-call fires without devastation.
85-year-old Carol Cressy shared her experience of the evacuation, stating, 'By that time, the color outside my windows was bright red. The flames were already there.'
Despite the destruction, the community spirit remained strong as residents emphasized resilience and defiance, quickly talking about rebuilding and helping one another.
Cressy's thoughts on loss were poignant: 'The Bible says don't put your faith in material possessions. Don't I believe it,' reflecting her strength amidst devastation.
