Fire in Santa Barbara Co. Closes Highway 1 at 246

1:45 pm – Looks to be long term, with a wildfire that is threatening to be 500-1000 acres. Paso Robles has sent all their aircraft to this one, I believe called Cruces. Here are the details on chp, as it has not made it to Cal Fire, yet.

From Cal Trans: SigAlert: a brush fire north of #Gaviota has CLOSED #Hwy1 each way up to #Lompoc so use #Hwy101, #Hwy246 as other routes. Expect traffic delays in area & watch for emergency vehicles. @countyofsb @SBCFireInfo
