Finally got through to the spouse who is part of Unified command at the command post (San Marcos FS Station). Fire is 15 acres at the moment and they suspect was started by downed power lines in the canyon directly below Laurel Springs Ranch (East Camino Cielo and Painted Cave rd area) Lots of aircraft and fire equipment on scene...cautiously optimistic, but preparing for afternoon winds shifting. Structures are threatened but crews are on scene and in place.

(Trout Club resident posting-- at top of old San Marcos Rd, where it meets 154).
PLEASE stay away from the area-- we don't need lookeeloos blocking Old San Marcos Rd, and 154 in case of urgent evacuations. There really isn't even anything to see from those spots anyhow. Just smoke and aircraft.
It never cooled down last night-- quite warm at daybreak. We had power flickering on and off from 7:45 to about 8:30. It's hot here now, wind is just a slight breeze, but increasing. We are having helicopters overhead every few minutes, which is reassuring but annoying!

Containment means that they have a fire line around the entire fire. It is different than the fire being under control. A fire like this probably wont be 100% contained due to the terrain. They will control it (if they havent already), soak out all hot spots, mop up with hand crews and call it officially out. They'll be up there overnight, and through the next couple of days. Removing all risk of a burning root or smoldering twig to re-ignite the blaze.

I have no experience with the new iPhone Maps app. I'm curious what you guys are searching for when it tells you Painted Cave is in SLO or Gardena. Are you including something like "Painted Cave, near Santa Barbara, CA" ? If you're just searching for "Painted Cave" that is similar to searching for "Springfield" and expecting a particular city. Just FYI, there are almost 15 million Google results for 'Painted Cave -"Santa Barbara"' (excludes pages containing Santa Barbara). Also, I see no smoke rising above Painted Cave, viewed from N Patterson area.

Is the bottom photo the one from 3:30? It doesn't look too different from the earlier ones. Can't see smoke at all anymore from here, near Sheffield Reservoir.

MTNDRIVER.... I drove out to Dos Pueblos just a bit ago, and this perspective is not visible until you go quite aways north from SB. The canyon where the active fire is located is really deep and inaccessible. This is about how it looked about an hour ago.

I saw that orange chopper doing water drops all day. Where was it getting filled up? During the Tea Fire, they used Santa Barbara Junior High as a landing zone and had lots of hoses running onto the playing field from nearby hydrants.

That fact that the website went down is not because it "dropped the ball." It's because the site is so popular EVERYONE immediately signs on to see what's happening. I have paid for this service for 3 years. I expect a thank you to us that pay from all of you who are not part of the solution.

Thanks, edhat and Roger! Heard tons of sirens around the Pass this morning, but didn't think "Fire." Went on edhat to find out. We did change our plans for the day ... decided to stay in town and not go north. Couldn't have done it without you.

It would be helpful to know to which post(s) you are referring. Pride for being a paid member is not in itself evidence of being a jerk or "talking down."
