A brush fire burned nearly two acres on Jalama Road Sunday afternoon.
Santa Barbara County firefighters responded to the scene at 2:59 p.m., six miles from Highway 1 near Lompoc on Jalama Road and discovered two to three acres of brush on fire making a run up the hillside.
Helicopters made water drops while ground firefighters on the flanks made progress against the fire.
Around 4:00 p.m., Incident Command reported forward progress of the fire had stopped with 10% containment of the slope driven fire. The fixed-wing aircraft was cancelled as one helicopter continued making water drops and a hand crew cut a line around the fire.
After walking the fire perimeter with a GPS, the Santa Barbara County Fire Department reduced acreage to 1.92 acres.
The fire is currently 100% contained.
Vegetation fire on Jalama Road, 10 miles in from Highway 1 in the 5600-6000 Blocks of Jalama Road.
Full County Fire Department Response, Dozers one, and two, Las Padres, Copter 308…
Command 4..
Vegetation on fire flames seen.
I don’t have command 4 but this is a working vegetation fire other stations are moving in to cover engines responding to this fire..If you have a scanner with command 4 feel free to report, Thanks.
Forward progress stopped, looks like Brush trucks there can handle along water tender, copter 308 and Battalion 510.
Crew to handle one flank and Dozer 2 the other.
Thanks TAGDES..
Another one off the 33 in Apache Canyon. Can be seen on the HPWREN cameras…. http://hpwren.ucsd.edu/cameras/L/syp-e-mobo-c.jpg On the left, behind the equipment.
Kern Co. not really relevant to this.
It could be relevant if you are a blue collar Central Valley guy having to haul your 5th Wheel RV thru Kern and San Luis counties to get to your pricey reserved spot at Jalama so the Missus and the Kiddies can waddle in the waves and have a Jalama Burger and fries for lunch.
What is causing this rash of small fires? Can’t be lightning bugs–are the “firebugs” out?
Honestly, what’s the point of downvoting Roger for his reports?
Actually not Parvo. If one was coming from either SLO or Kern to Jalama they would not be going anywhere near Apache Cyn. Maybe you should learn how to read a map prior to your trolling. And up votes for MM’s irrelevance and trolls, ya’ll obviously don’t want me helping when Roger can’t hear the other channels. So no problemo..see ya.
W/ Jalapeño and a side of sand in your toes!!
