A day after the Jesusita fire in Santa Barbara started, the winds picked up and rejuvenated the flames, creating a huge plume of smoke being carried out over the ocean. Santa Cruz Island is visible in the lower right corner of the photo.

beth ann and jason be safe, I love you mom

I'd like to know the real story behind why the air tankers are no longer stationed out of SB Airport. I heard remors that SB City was charging them to much so they had to relocated.

Just to say my heart goes out to each and every one of the residents in Jesusita fire. I cant ever imagine having to live in fear of losing all of my belongings and home. You are all in my thoughts and prayers.

I was born and raised in Santa Barbara, I am praying for all the people who lost their homes. Thank God no serious injuries. Santa Barbara, you are in my prayers.

What a waste of money now. Officials were told about agoat company that does fire suppression and or lad/brush clearings. They responded by saying there were no funds and no grants, Joke. No grants if you do not apply for one!

I was born in Santa Barbara..theToro Canyon was my family history and playground. Now live in Midwest...and send my thoughts and prayers to all. Be safe.

What about the firefighters that have just been transferred to the Grossman burn center? Channel 9 is covering the story at the burn center but I havent' heard you mention this.
