Live updates: At least 132 structures destroyed by Mountain Fire in Ventura County

Santa Ana winds are expected to return to Southern California next week, bringing another round of red flag warnings and heightened wildfire danger.

Ventura County Fire Capt. Trevor Johnson said everyone is preparing for it.

"Our goal is to not only take care of all the community out here but bring stabilization to this incident so that we can free up resources and be ready for the next fire," he said.

Johnson said the Mountain Fire is not a full capacity staffing, which allows crews to be ready to battle another fire if one should break out.

"If another incident were to arise, we're fully prepared to handle that incident as well," he said.

Ventura County Fire Chief Dustin Gardner addressed reports that crews ran out of water Wednesday night. Gardner explained crews at a lower elevation did have water and were able to shuttle water up to crews.

"It's a normal operation, running out of water," he explained during a news conference Thursday. "I don't want to say it's abnormal, but it's normal enough that we plan for it. So it's impactful, but it will be mitigated."

Garnder said hundreds of fire trucks were on the front lines Wednesday night and were pumping water all night.

"We have been fighting the fire for 26 hours, and we had all of those fire trucks hooked up to all of those hydrants, and we drained water systems down," he said.

Gardner said the county and Cal OES teams work to make sure all the water resources are ready to go.

CHP Officer Gregory Bowcock's family lost their home in the Mountain Fire. The family of six grabbed what they could and fled as the flames raced uphill toward their home.

Officer Bowcock's work SUV was completely charred, and his home was burned to the ground. Four generations of his family had lived in that house.

The family's church community helped them find an Airbnb to stay in temporarily.

Bowcock's son Mac helped make sure his siblings were safe.

"I was running around grabbing things that we need and im trying to get the kids safe because I don't want to lose them, because well, they're my brothers and sisters, so I don't want to lose them...I miss our house, but it's better that we still have our lives," Mac said.

Thursday is Officer Bowcock's birthday.

"I can't believe it's gone." Erika Bauer's childhood home in Camarillo was completely destroyed by the Mountain Fire. Her parents lived there since 1978. Now, their beloved house is reduced to ashes.

Erika Bauer walked through what was left of her childhood home Thursday morning. Her parents have lived in the Las Posas Estates community in Camarillo since 1978. The home held so many memories for her family

"I can't believe it's gone. I don't even know what to say right now. This is surreal. I know we live in a fire danger area but it came out of nowhere it was so fast," Bauer described.

The Mountain Fire turned their beloved home to ashes.

Bauer says her parents were at home when the flames came racing toward their property. Her mother was able to help her father, who is blind, evacuate safely before their home was engulfed in flames.
