Firefighters Battle Brush Fire in Simi Valley

As firefighters sought to contain California’s deadly Camp Fire and Woolsey Fire on November 12, a brush fire broke out in Simi Valley, threatening nearby buildings, reports said. Now called the Peak Fire, the blaze started around 10 am near the 118 Freeway, and grew to nearly 186 acres, forcing the roadway’s closure for several hours. The Woolsey Fire started five days ago, also in Simi Valley, and has killed two people and destroyed more than 400 homes. The Camp Fire, burning in northern California not far from Sacramento, killed 42 people. This footage shows the brush fire from the roadside. Black smoke and flames are seen in the distance.
