Map: Here’s the Mountain Fire burning in Ventura CountyWithin hours, the Mountain Fire spread to more than 25,000 acres in Ventura County.

CAMARILLO, Calif. (KABC) — The Mountain Fire started just before 9 a.m. near Balcom Canyon Road and Bradley Road in Somis.

But with Southern California under a red flag warning, powerful Santa Ana winds sprang up, spreading embers and flames across much of a populated area within hours.

Here you can see where the flames have spread.

By 4 p.m. it had been mapped to more than 10,000 hectares and dozens of homes in Camarillo had gone up in flames.

Evacuation orders were issued in an area that included: North Lewis Rd to Los Posas Country Club north of Loop Drive (Camarillo Heights Area); Unincorporated Somis West to: Saticoy Country Club, East to Balcom Canyon Road, South to Highway 118
