Was the fire on the west side of the highway, or closer to Captain Cooper?
Scary! But so glad it was so quickly contained.
I'd like to meet the fire that thought Big Sur Kate wouldn't see it before it took its first lick. Quickresponderkate, toujours.
I love that you added the donate link.
Thanks for the support Kate! The fire was spotted by Ken McLeod who called 911. Your south coast acting Captain Matt Harris happened to be in the area and took charge of the Brigade crews that responded.
USFS was on scene first and as always did an excellent job!
