Description:
On October 21,1996, at approximately 10:35 a.m., arcing electrical power lines located by the Ventura Freeway at Los Virgenes Road in Calabasas started a fire in dry grass. The first unit on scene reported a 1/4 to 1/2 acre fire burning in mediukm brush, uphill, with heavy winds. The fire escaped initial containment efforts and moved to the South toward the ocean. At approximately 6 p.m., the fire had burned to the Pacific Coast Highway. In all, 14,950 acres were scorched and destroyed 6 homes, 2 mobile homes, and 3 vehicles. Several firefighters were injured in two separate burnover events a short distance from each other during the same flareup on Day Two of the fire. The fire also forced the evacuation of Pepperdine University.
