TheEasy Fire was a wildfire that burned inSimi Valley,Ventura County, California. The fire burned 1,806 acres (731 ha) in October 2019.[2]
The Easy Fire began October 30, 2019 at approximately 6:00 a.m. near aSouthern California Edison transmission line, which was still active amid apublic safety power shutoff due to high winds.[3] The point of ignition was near Easy Street and Madera Road at the westerly end of Simi.
The fire was extinguished on November 2, 2019.[2] The final report of investigators determined that the combination of extreme wind conditions and an insulator, attached to high voltage power lines, that swung into a steel power pole caused the fire.[4]
As the fire was pushed towardsMoorpark on October 30, over 1,000 homes were threatened and 26,000 Ventura County residents were evacuated due to the fire. TheRonald Reagan Presidential Library was almost completely surrounded by the fire.[5] Goats were credited in protecting the rural, hillside museum. They had earlier cleared the brush to create adefensible space around the buildings.[6]
