The Pine fire burning in the Sespe Wilderness north of Ojai has charred more than 1,450 acres, officials said Saturday.

The fire, which started in the Los Padres National Forest about 9 a.m. Thursday, is zero percent contained, officials said.

There are about 50 structures threatened but there are no mandatory evacuations in place, authorities said. There are voluntary evacuations of the Camp Scheideck community, Reyes Creek Campground and the Grade Valley area.

More than 350 firefighters, assisted by water-dropping aircraft, are continuing to battle the blaze.


The cause of the fire remains under investigation.
