Ventura County District Attorney’s Office

VENTURA, Calif. – The Ventura County District Attorney’s Office is announcing today that it has concluded its review of the Balcom and Mountain Fires, finding no criminal liability for the October 30, 2024, and November 6, 2024, incidents.
After receiving a comprehensive investigation from the Ventura County Fire Department and California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (Cal Fire), which consisted of 360 gigabytes of data, 2,800 electronic files and several thousand pages of reports, the Ventura County District Attorney’s Office assigned a team of prosecutors to carefully analyze the investigation for potential criminal charges. In doing so, the District Attorney’s Office learned that a tractor driver was clearing brush on the afternoon of October 30, 2024, on a hillside in unincorporated Ventura County near Balcom Canyon Road and Bixby Road in the community of Somis. He was using a four-wheel drive tractor with a flail shredder attachment to clear dry vegetation and prepare the area for cattle grazing when he noticed smoke and fire coming from the engine. The driver immediately drove the tractor to an area that he had cleared and called for help. Thereafter, firefighters responded and suppressed the 1.8 acre blaze by utilizing water hose lines, deploying hand crews and dropping 4,000 gallons of fire retardant from an air tanker. Ventura County firefighters, in conjunction with a nearby property owner, also utilized bulldozers to clear vegetation around the fire area to limit its spread.
In the intervening week between the Balcom and Mountain Fires, arson investigators, firefighters, and civilians visited the location of the October 30 incident.
On the morning of November 6, 2024, a nearby resident called 9-1-1 to report that smoke and fire were visible from the same area as the previous week’s fire. That morning and preceding evening were marked by an Extreme Red Flag Warning, also known as a Particularly Dangerous Situation, for its low humidity, dry conditions and forceful winds. Known as the Mountain Fire, it would go on to burn nearly 20,000 acres and damage or destroy 369 structures. Arson investigators determined that the cause of the Mountain Fire was heated tire debris from the Balcom Fire that became dislodged and dispersed into unburned vegetation downwind from the tractor.
The District Attorney’s Office arson team looked specifically at the facts, evidence and circumstances surrounding the October 30 operation of the tractor to determine criminal culpability in both fires. The conclusion is that the tractor driver acted neither maliciously nor recklessly to support a criminal filing. There is no evidence that the driver knew in advance that the tractor would catch fire and ignored that risk and used it anyway to clear brush. To the contrary, the driver was a 24-year labor contractor with extensive experience operating tractors and performing vegetation abatement in Ventura County. While the reason the tractor caught fire is unknown, there is no evidence that the operator drove it with the intention of starting a fire or operated the machinery aware that one could occur.
The Ventura County District Attorney’s Office has closed its criminal review of the Balcom and Mountain Fires and wishes to thank the Ventura County Fire Department and Cal Fire for their comprehensive and thorough investigation.

(VENTURA COUNTY) — Michelle Ascencion, Ventura County Clerk-Recorder and Registrar of Voters, announced the schedule for the One Percent Manual Tally audit of the November 4, 2025, Statewide Special Election. A mandated process under the California Elections Code (§15360), the One Percent Manual Tally audit is conducted during the 30-day Official Canvass period and involves a meticulous hand count of ballots from randomly selected batches of ballots tabulated through the end of Election Night. The manual tally counts are compared to the electronically tabulated results to confirm the equipment is counting the ballots correctly.
The random selection of ballot batches will take place on November 10 at 10:00 AM. Using a random number generator, as specified in California Code of Regulations, Title 2, §20313(2)(A), Elections staff will select one percent of the batches from in-person votes and vote-by-mail ballots, treating them as separate samples to ensure comprehensive coverage.
The audit process will officially begin on November 13 at 9:00 AM and is expected to conclude on November 14. Members of the public and media are welcome to observe both the random batch selection and the manual tally audit process.
“In a primary or general election, the one-percent tally is quite complicated, with dozens of contests and hundreds of different ballot types,” said Registrar Ascencion. “The tally will be somewhat easier for this election, since the ballot had one contest with only two options. Nevertheless, even this manual tally will take several long hours of repetitive, focused, detail-sensitive work, so it’s still a challenging process.”
Both the One Percent Manual Tally and the Pre-Election Logic and Accuracy Testing conducted for each election are mandated processes that ensure the security, transparency, and efficiency of elections in California, as well as confirming that every piece of equipment is functioning properly with 100% accuracy.
Anyone interested in observing the One Percent Manual Tally audit can visit the Elections Division at the Ventura County Government Center (Hall of Administration, Lower Plaza), 800 S. Victoria Ave., Ventura. For more information please call the Elections Division at 805-654-2664. The official notice for the audit can be found at Vote.VenturaCounty.gov.
The Ventura County Clerk-Recorder & Registrar of Voters is committed to “Preserving history and protecting democracy for the people of Ventura County, past, present, and future.” More information about the agency’s services is available 24/7 at ClerkRecorder.VenturaCounty.gov

Fillmore Lions Club would like to thank the community for supporting last Saturday’s Enchilada Dinner fundraiser. They made 500 to go dinners to help raise funds for high school senior scholarships that’ll be awarded this spring.
There were countless volunteers such as One Step a la Vez teens and staff, Fillmore Boy Scout Troop 406, Sespe 4H, Fillmore FFA, and fellow Lions from Ventura. Lions would also like to thank local businesses such as Fillmore’s El Pescador, Estrella Market, Beylik Farms, Salvation Army of Ventura, and Red Engine Brewery. Lions intend to carry on this community event every year, as so many Fillmorites look forward to the delicious dinner. Lastly and very importantly, there was no food wasted. At the end of the event Fillmore Lions was able to donate more than 250 enchilada meals to Spirit of Santa Paula, our local homeless shelter. They do great work and rely solely on donations. It felt great to provide so much food for a worthy organization.

Multiple cities have come on board as partners of the vital humanitarian effort as well, such as Thousand Oaks, Port Hueneme, Fillmore, Ventura and Camarillo.
“I am so humbled by just how generous our community is, and so proud of what we have been able to accomplish together in the last few weeks,” said VCCF Board Chair Leah Lacayo. “With this new matching opportunity for the Ventura County Neighbors Support Fund, we can double our impact to support our Ventura County community.

Santa Clara Valley Disposal will maintain its regular trash, recycling and yard/organics waste collection schedule in Fillmore during the week of Veterans Day, Nov. 9-15. The holiday falls on Tuesday, Nov. 11.
Remember that residential customers can place all three carts curbside every week, as Santa Clara Valley Disposal collects all waste weekly – including food waste, which is recyclable. All food waste should be placed in closed paper or plastic bags and the bags should be tossed in the organics waste cart. This prevents food waste contamination because food waste and yard waste are processed separately. Even if you only have food waste bags and no yard waste, you can still put the food waste bags in your organics waste cart and take it to the curb every week for pickup.
Harrison Industries serves the cities and surrounding unincorporated areas of Ventura, Ojai and Camarillo as well as the unincorporated areas of La Conchita, Lake Sherwood, Lynn Ranch, Newbury Park, Ojai Valley (Ventura River Valley), Oxnard Plain, Piru, Point Mugu, Rancho Matilija, Rincon, Santa Paula, Santa Rosa Valley, Somis, Upper Ojai, Yerba Buena and the Channel Islands Beach Community Services District, as well as California State University Channel Islands and the city of Carpinteria, as E.J.

Fillmore Civic Pride volunteers have chosen the decorated yard at 256 Rhodes Court, belonging to the Vieyra family, for the Fall Harvest/ Halloween Award. Daughter Eva said her mother, Rocio Vieyra, enjoys decorating for all the holidays and the children help her as needed. Eva said decorating is a hobby and fun for the entire family.
The family has lived on Rhodes Court for about 20 years and in Fillmore for 25 years. Be sure to get out of your car and walk on the sidewalk in front of the house during the night or even in daytime to see the amazing city of figures and buildings at ground level. Rocio even has black roses and a black tree in a planter, and the house is covered with decorations and lights.
Rocio works at a beauty salon in the brick Firestone building across from Fillmore City Hall, so drop in to congratulate her on the hard work and award!
The family will enjoy using their gift certificate from Otto & Sons Nursery and now is a great time for everyone to shop with their 40% off sale which lasts until the end of October! Civic Pride volunteers are thankful for Otto & Sons Nursery’s support in this project which improves our community in appearance and fosters community participation. And we have the pleasure of meeting people in different neighborhoods!
“Honorable Mentions” to take a tour with the family include: 502 Stonehedge, 759 Galvin, 3661 Foothill, 644 Mountain View, 398 Edgewood, 45 Central, 787 Burlington, 855 Sante Fe, 937 Sante Fe, 998 Hinckley, 603 2nd, and 733 3rd Street.

(VENTURA) Saturday, Oct. 25, 2025 is opening day for nine vote centers located throughout Ventura County for the Nov. 4 Statewide Special Election. Nine additional vote centers will open the following Saturday, Nov. 1. Vote center hours are 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM every day until Nov. 3, and 7:00 AM to 8:00 PM on Election Day, Nov. 4.
“With this being a special election, the vote center locations may be different from those used in past elections,” County Clerk-Recorder and Registrar of Voters, Michelle Ascencion, said. “Please check your County Voter Information Guide, the insert in your vote by mail ballot, or the County Elections website at Vote.VenturaCounty.gov, to find the list of vote center sites that are opening this week.”
With up to 10 days of early voting available before Election Day, voters who have questions or would like extra assistance can take advantage of days that are typically less busy than Election Day at the vote centers.
At any vote center, ADA curbside voting is available to help mobility-restricted voters cast their ballot from their car. Inside the vote center, any voter can receive individual one-to-one assistance from the staff. Each vote center is equipped with several ADA-accessible ballot marking devices, which enable voters to use a touchscreen display to vote their ballot, review their selection, and print their ballot. A ballot printed from the ballot marking device is tabulated in the same manner as a hand-marked ballot.
Any voter can request to use the ballot marking device, but it is specially designed to provide ADA accessible voting, with adjustable font sizes on the display screen, audio options, and other accommodative capabilities for voters. A ballot printed from the ballot marking device is tabulated in the same manner as a hand-marked ballot.
Voters with disabilities who prefer to vote from home can choose to utilize a unique type of voting by mail called Remote Accessible Vote By Mail (RAVBM). The RAVBM ballot enables the voter to view and mark their ballot using their own personal adaptive devices, such as a screen reader or other accessible technology, similar to using a ballot marking device at a vote center. With RAVBM, a voter can vote their ballot privately and independently. Once they’ve completed their ballot, the voter prints it out and submits the ballot in a signed, postage-paid envelope, and deposits it in a ballot drop box or sends it via US Postal Mail just like they would a standard vote by mail ballot.
Vote centers can also provide assistance to voters in languages other than English. California’s ballots are all printed in English and Spanish, and certain counties with significant enough foreign language-speaking communities also provide ballots in additional languages. There are bilingual Spanish/English election workers at many of the vote centers, and the Secretary of State’s office provides a hotline for assistance with other languages.
Voters registering late can still participate in the election by visiting a vote center, where they will vote on a provisional ballot. Once the registration information is verified and finalized, the provisional ballot can be counted and the voter will be registered for future elections.
“Since voters are not assigned to a specific location, they can select the Ventura County vote center that is most convenient for them to either vote in person or deliver their completed vote by mail ballot,” Registrar Ascencion said. “Vote by mail ballots can also be returned to an official Ventura County Elections ballot drop box or in the US Postal mail. Whether you vote by mail or go to a vote center to vote in person, the time is NOW to make your voice heard for the November 4th Statewide Special Election. Please contact us if you have any questions, we’re here to help.”
For assistance, voters can contact the Elections Division at (805) 654-2664, by email at elections@venturacounty.gov, or visit the website, Vote.VenturaCounty.gov.
The Ventura County Clerk-Recorder & Registrar of Voters is committed to “Preserving history and protecting democracy for the people of Ventura County, past, present, and future.” More information about the agency’s services is available 24/7 at www.ClerkRecorder.VenturaCounty.gov.

At its regular meeting on October 14, the Fillmore City Council voted 3-1 to become a member of Clean Power Alliance (CPA), a locally-operated clean electricity provider. With this decision, Fillmore becomes the final city in Ventura County to partner with CPA.

At its regular meeting on October 14, the Fillmore City Council voted 3-1 to become a member of Clean Power Alliance (CPA), a locally-operated clean electricity provider. With this decision, Fillmore becomes the final city in Ventura County to partner with CPA, officially joining the rest of the county in offering residents and businesses access to renewable energy and greater local control over electricity decisions.

At last night’s meeting, Fillmore residents, youth, and environmental advocates gave public comment to show strong local support for this important energy decision.

“I understand change can be daunting. But the risks of inaction are greater,” said Cesar Campos, fellow at Climate First: Replacing Oil & Gas (CFROG) and Oxnard College student. “All of the cities in Ventura County have already joined CPA, thus showing their commitment and awareness to ensure a better and brighter future for their residents and future community members. Fillmore deserves the same.”

This decision to officially move forward as a Clean Power Alliance member community comes after months of grassroots advocacy efforts by local community members and youth, accompanied by One Step A La Vez and Climate First: Replacing Oil & Gas (CFROG). In May, the Fillmore City Council first decided to move forward with a feasibility study that determined the city was eligible to participate.

“It is time that Fillmore residents have the choice,” Mayor Christina Villaseñor shared during the meeting. “I’m excited about having a seat at the table and to be able to consider the energy needs for our community and our region [...]. CPA being able to reinvest profits back into the community because there are not investors or shareholders to pay; this is a great quality.

CPA sources energy from solar, wind, and other renewable sources. The transition to CPA will give Fillmore customers access to: cleaner energy at competitive rates, community reinvestment programs and grants, and support for local clean energy jobs and infrastructure. The City of Fillmore will also have the opportunity to actively participate in the energy provider’s decision-making process by appointing a City Council representative to the Clean Power Alliance Board of Directors.

“This is one of the most impactful steps our city can take to address climate change at the local level,” said Karen Laiz, youth leader with One Step A La Vez. “By making clean energy the default, we make sustainability more accessible and equitable, especially for the lower-income households that might otherwise be left behind in the transition to a greener future.”

“Energy affordability, access to clean power, and climate resilience are not just energy policy concerns; they are energy justice issues and therefore, environmental justice priorities,” said Fabiola Gomez, Senior Environmental Justice Coordinator at the National Wildlife Federation.

“Joining CPA is a cost-efficient, value-aligned, and forward-thinking step that will protect the community, support vulnerable residents, and help fulfill the city’s environmental goals.”

Beginning in 2027, Fillmore residents and businesses will automatically receive clean, competitively priced power from CPA. The next decision for the city to make is the default energy tier, which ranges from 40% to 100% renewable sources.

VENTURA, Calif. – On Friday October 10, 2025, Governor Gavin Newsom signed Assembly Bill 1344, authored by Assemblymember Jacqui Irwin and sponsored by Ventura County District Attorney Erik Nasarenko, officially enacting a pilot program that allows district attorneys in select counties to directly petition the courts for Gun Violence Restraining Orders (GVROs), also known as “Red Flag Laws.”

The measure authorizes prosecutors in Ventura, El Dorado, Alameda, and Santa Clara counties to petition for GVROs, giving district attorneys the ability to intervene when individuals pose an imminent threat to themselves or others.

Existing law authorizes law enforcement officers, family members, coworkers, and others to obtain a GVRO when a person poses an immediate danger to themselves or others by possessing a firearm and when less restrictive alternatives are inadequate.

Under AB 1344, district attorneys in the four participating counties will also be able to seek a GVRO.
“This is a significant law for community safety,” said District Attorney Nasarenko. “Prosecutors are uniquely positioned and qualified to seek these restraining orders to prevent gun violence, and I thank Assemblymember Irwin for championing this much-needed legislation.”

“The frequency of mass shootings committed with legally purchased firearms continues to drive home the point that removing firearms from those who pose a danger to themselves or others, is perhaps the first-line of defense in preventing tragedies,” said Assemblymember Jacqui Irwin. “The expanded use of Gun Violence Restraining Orders (GVRO’s) has proven to be an effective tool to address this issue. I am thankful to Ventura County District Attorney Erik Nasarenko, who has been steadfast in his support of my efforts to pass legislation that would authorize a pilot program to allow District Attorney’s to petition for GVRO’s. The data gathered through this pilot program could lead to statewide legislation that would have a significant impact on gun violence in California.”

The law also requires annual reporting to the California Firearm Violence Research Center at UC Davis beginning in 2027, allowing the state to analyze GVRO usage and outcomes to guide future firearm safety policies.
