It has been confirmed by the USFS that all three incidents yesterday, Saturday, were illegal campfires. Remember, NO CAMPFIRES in the Los Padres National Forests from now until further notice – probably after the first rains. We locals ARE vigilant, and will call them in. Building one is a federal misdemeanor, carrying a potential jail sentence AND up to $5,000 in fines.
And in some places can get one shot.
