Fire Burns Santa Clara River Bottom
A brush fire in the Santa Clara River bottom burned about 1 1/2 acres Saturday afternoon, fire officials said.
The blaze started shortly before 2 p.m. near South Mountain Road and the 12th Street bridge, just outside Santa Paula city limits. It took about 20 firefighters and more than 10 vehicles, including a helicopter, to put out the blaze.
“The bamboo is really deep, and it requires quite a bit of mop-up,” Santa Paula Fire Capt. Dan Campos said. Firefighters finished the job about 4 p.m.
No injuries were reported, and fire officials were trying to determine the fire’s cause.
