2003 Piru Fire Anniversary
When:
Wednesday, 23 October 2019
Where:
Topatopa Mountains - Ventura County
Description:
The Piru Fire started on October 23, 2003, and burned in and around the Los Padres National Forest. Because the Piru Fire threatened the same communities as the nearby Verdale Fire in Los Angeles, DHS-FEMA allowed costs from both fires to be consolidated into a single FMAGP declaration. Approximately 1,400 firefighting personnel managed to contain the 63,991-acre fire in rough and inaccessible terrain between Lake Piru and northwest Fillmore, but not before it destroyed three homes, 5 outbuildings, and injured 20 people. The cause of the fire was a work crew employing a cutting tool while installing a road culvert near brush.
