This morning, a controlled burn on the west side of the highway at MM 6 across from Gorda Mountain escaped its handlers and the BSVFB and the USFS were called in to get it under control. Unclear if Cal-Fire were called in from Cambria or not, but as of about 1 pm this afternoon, it looks like with the additional resources the controlled burn is under control again. If anything further develops, I will be sure to let you know, but from what I was able to gather, this one is done.
