Structure Fire in Camarillo
At 9:24pm - VCFD, along with Oxnard Fire, Ventura City Fire, VCSO, and AMR, responded to a working structure fire in the 300 block of N. Las Posas Rd. in Camarillo.
Units on scene reported heavy smoke from the attic of a single-story commercial restaurant building.
Firefighters mounted an aggressive, coordinated attack from the interior and the roof to knock down the fire.
With the main body of fire located in the attic space, crews worked to access void spaces, identify hot spots, and make sure the fire was completely extinguished.
Over 60 firefighters from VCFD and partner agencies responded to the incident. Thankfully, there were no civilian or firefighter injuries.
The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
