False Alarm at Garrapatta

Reports of fire at Garrapatta (excuse me, but I can never remember which consonants are doubled in this word) brought a full response, but initial AA could find nothing from Carmel all the way down to Big Sur, so response was cancelled. I am reporting this to help avoid confusion if you heard the sirens about 1/2 hour ago.
