Utilizing thermal cameras, the firefighters determined the hillside below our house still had the potential to reignite, so they brought in the water cannon to “mop it up.” SO POWERFUL! #thomasfireojai (at Ojai, California)

By Wednesday night, areas in Ojai and Santa Paula, along with communities in the north coast of Ventura County, were placed under mandatory evacuations.

"I've never seen a fire like that before. It looks like it's coming back over here," Santa Paula resident Eduardo Gonzalez said.

The fire ignited Monday evening and steadily increased in acreage, jumping the 101 Freeway near Solimar Beach Tuesday night and charring 70 square miles
