Fire Blazes in Goleta

goleta_fire.jpgA wildfire erupted last night in Goleta, eight miles Northwest of Santa Barbara. It began in the Los Padres National Forest forcing mandatory evacuations of about 40 homes. Yesterday, a small fire was knocked down in the Canyon Country neighborhood of Santa Clarita and nearby in Agua Dulce, a truck caught fire on the Northbound 14 Freeway, but was quickly doused before it could spread to surrounding brush.

Yes, it does belong here. This spat of fires is no longer just Northern California. We're now seeing bigger ones hit Central California here and near Sequoia National Park and Bakersfield.

That, plus the SCV fire mentioned here is totally legit.
