For those of you that saw The Oaks Mall fireworks display last night, you may have seen one firework shoot off to the west rather than up as it should have. Moments later, the glow of a brush fire and flashing lights of Ventura County Fire were seen on the hill, even as the show continued.
This morning, the Ventura County Star reports the location of the fire, and that it was extinguished in about 45 minutes:
