Santa Barbara County firefighters quickly tackled a spot fire in the More Mesa area early Monday evening.
At 7:49 p.m., fire crews responded to the area near Mockingbird Lane and Calle Las Brisas and found a 200 x 200 foot area burning in light grass at a slow rate of spread. Due to the cool temperatures and light winds, firefighters quickly handled the scene and cancelled all other engines en route.
Two engines are currently on scene mopping up the area. There were no structures threatened and no reported injuries. The cause is under investigation.
