The Springs Fire was a wildfire in Ventura County, California in May 2013. Although the fire burned only 15 homes,[2] it threatened 4,000. This threat passed when rain shower from few narrow cold-frontal rainbands moved through the California area because of a low-pressure system off the coast. Some places got more than half an inch of rain.[3]
The fire started at 6:45 AM on May 2, 2013, in Camarillo, California near U.S. Route 101 and burned across Pacific Coast Highway to the Pacific Ocean.[4] Several neighborhoods were evacuated, along with the campus of California State University Channel Islands.[5][6]
