Yet Another Santa Barbara Fire
The White Fire started in the Los Padres National Forest on Monday afternoon and burned through over 2000 acres in the mountains overlooking Santa Barbara. High winds and low humidity are fueling the fire, and if the winds shift, the city is in trouble.
There was a comment in this morning’s briefing that this was an August fire, but they are occurring in May now.
They have almost a dozen aircraft of multiple types working the fire, as well as over 600 personnel on the ground, but it is only 10% contained.
