VENTURA, Calif. (AP) - Authorities are responding after a Southern California pipeline spilled up to 210,000 gallons of crude oil.
Ventura Fire Department spokeswoman Kelly Flanders says a pumphouse operating the line has been shut down Thursday and firefighters are trying to prevent the oil from flowing down a gully to a beach in Ventura County.

The spill comes 13 months after a coastal pipeline about 55 miles to the west in Santa Barbara County leaked more than 120,000 gallons of oil, some of which flowed into the ocean and created a slick that killed birds and sea lions.
That pipeline, owned by Plains All American Pipeline, was found to have been corroded.
