3:15 update- sent one WT home, another on scene. Dozer working it, as well as crews, engines, and air resources. Unless the wind picks up, should be able to pick this one up this afternoon, so unless something breaks, I won’t be posting any more updates.

2:30 pm -Just got word that there is a wildfire at Cayucos Creek Rd and Thunder Canyon Rd. two air tankers out of Paso and one helio are making drops. Currently 5-10 acres with a moderate rate of spread. Two engines and two Cuesta crews on scene. Only access is jeep road, I am told. Info sketchy so far.
