There is a fire burning in the Los Padres Forest in a section called the San Rafael Wilderness. It's in a section that hasn't burned for 87 years so it's got plenty of fuel. This location is about 25 to 30 miles southeast of us. We have seen smoke and ash in the area. The Air Quality Management District issued a health advisory for the ash and smoke but said the air quality is still good even though the ash is falling. The fire has blackened over 10,000 acres. They don't know what started it as there has been no reports of lightning. Hunting season was to have started the day the fire started....hmmm....
On my way back from SLO today the traffic slowed to a crawl and I discovered that there was a brush fire along the side of the highway that had many fire trucks and police tending to as I went by. It's really dry! Let's not be stupid people!
