The Mountain Fire in Southern California has charred over 14,000 acres of land in Ventura County, which is around 70 miles northwest of Los Angeles, according to CalFire.
The Ventura County Fire Department is at the scene, but the fire is yet to be contained.
California Governor Gavin Newsom secured a Fire Management Assistance Grant from the Federal Emergency Management Agency to secure resources that will help suppress the fire, which has forced over 10,000 people to evacuate their homes, according to a press release.
“This is a dangerous fire that’s spreading quickly and threatening lives," Newsom said in a statement. "State resources have been mobilized to protect communities, and this federal support from the Biden-Harris Administration will give state and local firefighters the resources they need to save lives and property as they continue battling this aggressive fire.”
The fire has caused $2.5 million in damage, according to USA TODAY's data.
The cause of the fire is undetermined at this time.
The fire, which was discovered on Wednesday, is primarily being fueled by brush.
