Due to the very dry summers , forest fires in Los Padres National Forest are always a risk . In 1965 , a truck driven by country singer Johnny Cash caught fire , and burned several hundred acres in Ventura county . In August 1977 , the Marble Cone Fire burned within the Ventana Wilderness and portions of the Los Padres Forest . In June and July , 2008 , the Basin Complex Fire torched in the same region
