Fire burns in Los Padres Forest
A wind driven brush fire is burning in the Santa Barbara county back country near Paradise Road north of Red Rock.
300 acres have burned as of 9:30 pm. The fire is burning in a North easterly direction. No structures have been lost. None are threatened at this time. Evacuations have taken place in the Red Rock campground, and Upper Oso area. Other campgrounds are still open and hundreds of campers are in the area for the holiday weekend. Drivers are asked to avoid Highway 154 due to the number of vehicles coming out of the camping areas and the limited visibility because of smoke in the area. Fire crews from the Los Padres National Forest and Santa Barbara County fire departments are on the front lines. Firefighters from several other agencies are being called in. Over 100 firefighters are currently working on containment lines. No injuries have been reported. The cause of the fire is not known at this time. KEY News has a crew on the scene. Information is also being updated on the 211 information line. |
