The Hill Fire in Ventura County is now 100% contained. Investigators from the Ventura County Fire Department, Ventura County Sheriff’s Office, and CAL FIRE are actively investigating the cause of the Hill Fire. To date, investigators have been able to rule out all potential causes for the Hill Fire, other than human activity.
The Hill Canyon trail is located in the Santa Rosa Valley, off Hill Canyon Road and Santa Rosa Rd., Thousand Oaks.
The investigative team would like anyone who was in the area of Hill Canyon Trail on Thursday, November 8, 2018, from the hours of 10:00 AM to 3:00 PM, and may have information as to the cause of the Hill Fire to contact the CAL FIRE’s tip line at 1-800-468-4408.
A reward of $10,000 is available for information leading to a possible responsible party regarding the wildland fires. Callers may remain anonymous.
Fact check: Most wild fires (huge majority) are caused by natural conditions, not humans. But it is true that climate change has exasperated the risk by making such fires more likely to be extreme.
Overpopulation results in fires along w failure to create fire breaks by clearing some of them dead 120M trees, etc. .We build homes as allowed by taxpaying citizens in foothills and forests. No surprise when our homes burn:. The cost is spread to taxpayer funded FEMA and firefighters who’s willingly pay for our spectacular view lots. Than you.
no it was not
i guess that does not work for the global warming narrative- it felt like during the recent fires we herd only that global warming is to blame- i don’t know if its true or not true- however we would be far better served to look at all possibilities for these fires especially because they are so deadly – rather then picking one that we may or may not have control over? maybe? perhaps there are many reasons and many things we do have immediate control over?
SB93105 – I don’t think anyone ever said that “global warming” sparked the actual fires. It’s that it created the conditions (low humidity, high heat, high winds, etc) that exacerbated these fires into the firestorms they have been becoming. Fires are almost always caused by humans, either by error or intention. But, without the conditions caused by global warming, the fires would be more manageable and less destructive and deadly.
thank you, its funny that we have folks that will down vote a question! Happy Thanksgiving!
