Woolsey Fire

The 2018 Woolsey Fire was a large, deadly, and destructive wildfire in Los Angeles and Ventura counties, California. The fire ignited on November 8 and was not fully contained until November 21. During that period the fire spread to 96,949 acres, destroyed 1,643 structures, killed three people, and prompted the evacuation of more than 295,000 people. It was one of several fires in California—including the nearby Hill Fire and the even more impactful Camp Fire in Butte County—that ignited on the same day.
