    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.”

    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
