Numerous Fires along the 101 in Paso

4:15 pm – apparently, these fires were small veg fires along 101 from Atascadero up to Paso so far…..I’ll bet some ones dragging a chain….we’ve got units from Atascadero, templeton, an Paso running 101 putting them out. Currently, all but one is small and mostly in the center lane. One is at Exline, which is very north end, where the PR RV Parks is. I’ve stayed there many times. This one bears watching. This is a mess. Read the CHP report below. Glad I am not in Paso today…

4: pm – I took the day to run to King City, so just catching up, here. Looks like someone drug a chain, and sparked a bunch of fires. Let me catch up and I’ll update, but in the mean time, here is the chp dispatch:
