  • As far as I know, this has been contained. It is not on the chp site and I can see no plumes.

  • I just spoke with Big Sur Fire and confirmed the following:
    Fire is out. BSF responded to the scene around 1 am to find ~1/4 acre burning with no one around. They quickly put it out, and Forest Service is going to remain on the scene until they're fully satisfied that the fire is indeed completely out. Thank you Big Sur Fire!

  • Kate,
    Any update on this fire? Couldn't find anything on the news about it, this could be good.
    thanks

  • Our local Monterey County Sheriff Deputy was first on scene with the help of a resident they started getting water on the fire. Big Sur Fire arrived and volunteers were able to stop all progress of the fire and knock it down and start putting in hand lines. Our brothers from CalFire arrived next and worked with BSF to fully contain the fire while the hand crews from Gabilan arrived and worked to increase hand lines. The USFS patrol arrived and Big Sur Fire handed over command to them and they will stay on scene to patrol. Great working with everyone from all agencies.
