1993 Green Meadow Fire Anniversary
When:
Saturday, 26 October 2019
Where:
Santa Monica Mountains - Ventura County
Description:
This afternoon in 1993 an arsonist started a fire on the edge of the Green Meadow Golf Course in Thousand Oaks which strong Santa Ana Winds pushed up into the Santa Monica Mountains. Overnight the winds flared up again and drove it all the way to the Pacific Ocean near Point Mugu and Sycamore Canyon. In all, 43,844 acres were burned and caused $12 million in damages, destroying 38 houses, 21 mobile homes, 80 smaller structures and a radio tower on Rasnow Peak. Both actors Tom Selleck and Sly Stallone owned ranches at that time which were threatened by this fire. $10 million was spent fighting the fires, and more than 5,100 firefighters and support personnel from around the state helped. Twenty firefighters, a deputy sheriff and three civilians were injured.
