Received this from Cal Fire Santa Cruz Co (CZU) today. This closed Highway 9 last night, when I started following it, and it is still closed today.

Ranch Fire – SLO Co.
From friend on way to town, north, 2 fire engines and 1 ambulance heading south. This is what I have found. I have had all the fire news I can handle for one weekend, I think.
CHP reports it as south of Higuera. USFS is sending resources including a helicopter.
From Cal Fire SLU – Engines enroute to a vegetation fire Hwy 101 and Johnson Ranch. 2 acres of grass 1 structure threatened. #RanchFire.

Last night, Brendon came upon an unattended campfire. He video taped his encounter. I was not able to upload the entire 3 minute video, so I did some stills. While he was pouring the first of 3 gallons of water on the fire, the people came out of the woods. He educated these people who said they were from SF. They were about a mile or so from my house. Good job, kiddo!
