Vehicle accident into a power pole, now a vegetation fire on Foxen Cyn. Rd. Full County response.
In front of Kohler Winery. CHP site states the occupant “fell asleep”… Umm huh.
Right. “Fell asleep” on the wine trail. Glad no one else was hurt.
This will be the Foxen incident and at Zaca Station cross.
One green tag, need law enforcement for traffic control.
Again as like last night SO and CHP having trouble locating the incident.
Also Calstar for the accident. Light smoke showing from the closest station.
Phew!
This will be only 100’x 100′ small area fire, cancel air resources.
