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:

Alamo and Tower still going so fires will be competing for resources.
Alamo Fire Doubles Overnight, 7/8/17
3:00 pm – Alamo Fire up to 19,000 acres.
7:30 am – Fire officials report the fire has burned about 6,000 acres as of 7:00 a.m. Saturday and remains 10 percent contained. High temperatures, low humidity, and strong winds caused the fire to double in size.
A red flag warning is in effect for the area where the fire is burning, indicating extreme high temperatures, low humidities and sundowner winds.
Santa Barbara County Fire Captain Dave Zaniboni reports 1,000 firefighters have been assigned to the Alamo Fire. He anticipates more resources will arrive and be ordered Saturday.
Fire officials are watching wind conditions closely. Capt. Zaniboni says if the winds shift out of the northwest, like they did Friday afternoon, the fire could burn into the Tepusquet Canyon area where numerous people have homes and property.
Mandatory evacuations remain in place for Blazing Saddle Drive, White Rock Lane, Tepusquet Road and Colson Canyon Road. Approximately 300 residents in the area were notified.
Highway 166 remained closed from Highway 101 to Tepusquet Road.
The fire was first reported shortly after 3:30 p.m. on Thursday. The cause is under investigation.
