What gets photographedPage One, the Camera and the Reader in Ventura County
Harbor homes in Oxnard and Port Hueneme, farmhouses in Santa Paula, and post-war tracts in Thousand Oaks and Simi Valley all sit in one county. Unincorporated Oak Park and Oak View are in the mix too, so a report names the community. Heat and sun crack crowns inland, and Santa Ana gusts can strip caps and spread embers. Simi Valley and Moorpark were damaged in 1994. A separate air district governs burning here, so Rule 445 does not reach these homes.
