Firefighters in Ventura County by late Sunday had extinguished the Night Sky wildfire, which burned 35 acres in the Santa Rosa Valley, causing minor damage to the roof of one residence, said Tom Kruschke, spokesman for the Ventura County Fire Department.

‘We’ve had a few small fires here and there,’’ Kruschke said. ‘But the Ranch fire is the big one, and it’ s going to impact us until the winds die down.’’

The Ranch fire near Castaic was burning into Ventura County. After taking 29,000 acres, the fire was 10% contained, according to a statement from the Los Angeles County emergency management office.
