Rico Fire in South County

6:30 PM — UPDATE 250 acres and 50% contained.

I don’t have a name for this fire yet, nor an acreage estimate, and will add the name to the title and the acreage to the post itself when I do. There is also a fire in Paso Robles, called the River Fire. I will probably have to do a a separate post for the River Fire.

Here is a photo of it taken from the 101:
