5:20 pm – Far enough away that it should have no impact on Jolon, Mission or Nacimiento commutes.
4:20 pm – here is a general map, I believe it is in the red restricted area, between Gabilan Rd. And Mesa Coyote.
3;45 pm – FIRE IN THE GAVALAN AREA
FHL, CALFIRE and Los Padres National Forest firefighters on scene. Expect fire to be about 1,000 acres and contained early evening. No immediate danger to surrounding civilian community.
Here is a weather report and map to give some idea where it is – which is south end of base:
Is this the same one that KSBY just announced was on FHL???
I would imagine, but I haven’t seen KSBYs announcement. I understand it is controlled at somewhere between 1500 and 1800 acres.
