Our June member drive is live: protect this resource!
Right now, we need your help during our short June member drive to keep the local news you read here every day going. This has been a challenging year, but with your help, we can get one step closer to closing our budget gap. Today, put a dollar value on the trustworthy reporting you rely on all year long. We can't hold those in power accountable and uplift voices from the community without your partnership.

The Springs Fire continues to burn in Ventura County, having already consumed over 10,000 acres. Today "the air attack on the Springs Fire now consists of 8 water-dropping helicopters and 6 fixed-wing air tankers dropping fire retardant," according to the Ventura County Fire Department.

We've taken a look at photos of the massive blaze from the ground in and around the Camarillo Springs area, now check out this stunning image showing the wildfire as seen from space.
