Fire on FHL

7/17/19 UPDATE: Fort Hunter Liggett, with the help of CALFIRE and the Los Padres Forest firefighters, responded to a vegetation fire off the Nacimiento Ferguson roads last night. The fire was contained around 3am at about 1,600 acres. Smoke will most likely be visible in this area during the day. THANKS CALFIRE AND LOS PADRES firefighters!

10:30 pm Update: From Cal Fire BEU:
”It’s on Fort Hunter Liggett. We’re assisting them with 2 engines. It’s in Stoney Valley, apparently. I dont have anything further, though.”

Friend in Lockwood notified me of a fire to the east of me that looks substantial. Neither one of us can pinpoint it in the dark. CHP website has this:
