Officials reported that the Mountain fire has destroyed 207 structures, including 500 acres of avocado trees—California's top producer—in a devastating agricultural impact.
Korinne Bell, Ventura County's agricultural commissioner, stated, 'We rank No. 1 in the state for avocados and sadly avocados have been hardest hit in this fire so far.'
The fire had destroyed a significant amount of agricultural land as well as infrastructure, contributing to over $6 million in losses, according to the latest figures.
Ventura County Fire Chief Dustin Gardner expressed confidence in the containment, stating, 'The Mountain fire - we all feel comfortable - is buttoned up,' despite potential flare-ups.
