FELICIA FIRE UPDATE – LAKE PIRU

Fire suppression efforts on the Felicia Fire, in the Lake Piru area, several miles north of Piru, are expected to continue through at least Saturday. The fire broke out in rugged terrain along the west side of Lake Piru shortly before 1:00 PM on Thursday, 10/3/2024, triggering evacuations of the Lake Piru recreational area and nearby Dominguez Canyon. The forward progress of the fire was stopped Thursday evening, and containment has since increased to 50 percent. An evacuation warning and closure of the northern portions of Piru Canyon Road remain in effect, however, as fire crews put out hot spots and expand containment, while Public Works crews work to clear falling rock and debris from the road.
