Ventura County fire officials say an 8,000-acre wildfire has topped a ridge and reached the Pacific Coast Highway.
Fire Capt. Bill Nash says the fire reached the PCH - which had been closed for the second time in a day - at about 9 p.m. Thursday night.
Nash says the wildfire is still growing and the 10% containment the department had cited earlier was likely to be reduced.
By sunset firefighters had gained ground against the blaze that broke out along U.S. 101 and threatened 2,000 homes.
But a late surged forced a new series of evacuations and the PCH shutdown.
The blaze erupted during morning rush hour along U.S. 101 in the Camarillo area about 50 miles northwest of Los Angeles. It was quickly spread by the winds, which also pushed other damaging blazes across the region.
Flames quickly moved down slopes toward subdivisions, according to the Ventura County Fire Department. More than 12 1/2 square miles were charred, and the fire was about 10 percent contained.
'We know the fire is bigger than that, but it's in some difficult terrain so it's hard to know,' said fire spokesman Bill Nash.
A cluster of RVs in a parking lot was destroyed as flames moved close to a mobile home park.
About 2,000 homes were threatened by flames and 15 sustained damage, but none was destroyed, officials said.
No firefighter injuries were rep.

A more than 8,000-acre wind-driven brush fire that started Thursday morning at the base of the Conejo Grade near the southbound 101 Freeway has prompted thousands to evacuate and damaged at least 15 homes, 25 out buildings, power lines and several RVs at a storage facility.
The Springs Fire, which was initially reported as a 10-acre blaze near Camarillo Springs Road around 6:45 a.m., spread to 12.5 square miles and reached Pacific Coast Highway at Sycamore Canyon Road around 9 p.m.
“The fire is continuing to burn along PCH. What this means is the fire that broke out this morning has burned all the way to the coast. It’s a rapidly moving fire through heavy vegetation and it’s proving to be difficult for firefighters,” said Bill Nash of the Ventura County Fire Department. “There’s no place for (the fire) to go over the highway. We’re staging units at the PCH. We’ll try to be in front of it and stop it as it reaches the coastline.”
Roughly 925 personnel — including six hand crews, six choppers, five dozers and 96 engines — were batting the massive wildfire, which was at less than 10 percent containment, according to Nash. No injuries were reported.
In addition to Ventura crews, firefighters from Oxnard, Ventura, Santa Paula, the Ventura County Naval Base, Cal Fire, Orange County, Los Angeles County and the City of Los Angeles, to name a few, were fighting the blaze. The Ventura County Sheriff’s Department and the Califo
