CNN - Fire conditions are expected to improve across Southern California today after powerful Santa Ana winds brought strong gusts and dangerous fire weather to the region. Those conditions fueled the Mountain Fire in Ventura County, which has burned over 20,000 acres since Wednesday. Officials said more than 130 structures have been destroyed and over 80 are damaged. The fire was driven by potent winds and weather conditions so extreme forecasters issued a rare "particularly dangerous situation" red flag warning for the potential of "life-threatening" fire behavior. There are a total of 10 confirmed injuries, which are mostly related to smoke inhalation and are non-life threatening, Ventura County Sheriff Jim Fryhoff said.
