Note to readers: CHP and CALTRANS seem to have had some difficulty coming to an agreement as to what page they are on. This is officially from Caltrans, whicle the chp page has not been updated from Partington to Fernwood as the closure. Maybe I should check my maps to see if Partington is 2 miles north of JP Burns.

Ten years ago we were sweating out the Soberanes fire, who can forget that heart-rending devastation. Now here we are again. Please God send in the fog. And more firefighters from wherever they can be found. We need help!
5 5 man crews coming in. Montecito fire for one.
