Is this the same one that KSBY just announced was on FHL???

Forwarding their comments:Firefighters expect to have a fire burning at Fort Hunter Liggett fully contained by Friday morning.
Base officials said the blaze broke out around noon Thursday and had grown to 1,700 acres less than four hours later.
It was said to be burning in the Gavalan area/live fire convoy course of the base, which is located in southern Monterey County.
Crews from Fort Hunter Liggett, CAL FIRE and the Los Padres National Forest are on scene.
Officials say there is no immediate threat to people in the area and investigators are working to determine the cause of the fire.
