SLO Co. Fire – Yosemite Fire

6:00 pm – This afternoon, another fire started at Highway 41 and Yosemite Place. It is currently around 50 acres, and no structures are threatened. It is east of Atascadero and south of Shandon. Hopefully, this one will be picked up tonight.

With the one in Lockwood yesterday, and this one near Shandon, it looks like fire season has arrived. Let’s hope they stay small.

  • Kate, Thanks as always for keeping us informed.

    I have a question, maybe for one of the fire people out there....why on earth would you call a fire in SLO County, the Yosemite Fire, when there is a fire burning in Yosemite National Park (called the Motor Fire)? Just asking......
