Flames and black smoke was seen toward the Lagoon at UCSB also on the 217 near the entrance to UCSB.

Multi callers according to SBSO Dispatch..
FULL COUNTY FIRE DEPARTMENT RESPONSE..
217 Near Goleta beach..
Not hearing alot on this if anyone else is feel free to take over I did not see it up so posted.
Thanks Andrew..
Fire still trying to access; not a large event, just another ‘bum fire.’
I never heard a darn thing after the first call out of the SO Channel weird so Thank You guys for taking over.
Guy walking around near the fire playing a flute…
I thought we solved this with the 2 million dollars on the 3 month hotel… no?
I’m only going to post here if I hear something serious and it’s not up just to let people know “What’s up” then someone else can take over. I have a Twitter account for all the other stuff I hear like brandishings fights etc…
Don’t feel bad Sacjon they think worse of me lol it’s the furthest thing from the truth if you really know me. I’m sure your not a bad person either..
Roger – thanks! Yeah, some people just can’t handle being called out.
You know what Sacjon, I totally believe you should say what you like how you like to. I was only trying to suggest that your aggressively defensive tone maybe overshadows the message you’re trying to get across, since you are arguing with people about this/similar topics literally daily. I have never been offended by what I read on Edhat. After 10 or so years visiting this site, I have realized the majority of people aren’t using Edhat to find common ground or partake in effective conversations with other locals about local issues and events, and would rather anonymously whine and bicker with each other. That said, I’ll settle back and continue consuming the entertainment in the comments sections 😀
9:10 – Why would I make a comment about homeless starting this? Yeah, I’m a real jerk for condemning assumptions about homeless people every time someone sees smoke. Dang, I’m awful!
Someone made an attribution of the fire to the homeless, and yet you failed to attack them inexplicably
9:36 – where? And if the person that started it was homeless, then so what? I don’t “attack” anyone other than those who instantly assume every fire, no matter where it is, was caused by the homeless. You know, like DEFENDING people without a voice. Sad that you are so threatened by that.
Oh I see…. DUKE’s comment. Yeah, whatever. I’m honestly getting tired of being labeled some kind of “homeless advocate” or something awful and stupid like that. Carry on!
As usual, you don’t read very thoroughly, thus your confusion
9:43 – I find it funny (and quite sad and embarrassing for you) that you jumped on here to attack me for “attacking” when I hadn’t even posted a comment. Sounds like you need a hobby? A friend?
Your current hobby appears to be trolling and attacking others daily on Edhat and probably elsewhere, so it would seem you are the one that needs a new hobby
Quit acting like an advocate for the homeless who are starting fires and people will stop calling you one
You missed JB86’s comment calling this “just another bum fire” as well; again, you need to read more thoroughly.
10:13 – or whoever you are… quit being a simpleton. I never defended arsonists, just spoke up for the homeless when they were constantly being blamed for fires before any facts were in, such as the fire at Lizard’s Mouth. I advocate against assumptions, but I see there’s nothing to assume about you. You’ve proven quite well your inability to think and reason time and again this morning. Have a good one!
Ehhh Jon you are the loudest voice of opposition to most comments voicing their frustration with the vagrant problem and out of control illegal camp fires. You’re very quick to make your stance known, and usually in an attack style rather than actually sticking up for the homeless community and trying to understand other peoples perspective on the issues and maybe change their minds. Just an observation, as your presence is strong here it’s hard not to observe. I appreciate your passion for homeless issues, but I don’t think you’re helping the situation with your comment contributions in EdHat land.
SFGA – weird, but OK. I’ll keep quiet. Sorry everyone for condemning mostly baseless assumptions about the homeless. Carry on.
I wasn’t suggesting you keep quiet and that’s a shame you think my perspective is weird… I was only recommending maybe instead of firing back try to provide constructive commentary that supports your cause. Have a nice day!
SFGA – what constructive commentary would you like? I’m honestly confused here. All I have ever done is condemn those comments who instantly place blame on the homeless for each and every crime and/or fire. I did the same back when everyone hated illegal immigrants and blamed them the same way. I only push for ONE thing – to stop the instant, baseless accusations and blame on the hated group du jour. Yeah, most times it IS a homeless encampment fire, but I oppose the insta-hate many have here. Again, I’m not defending criminals, just opposing the knee jerk accusations for each and every fire and crime. It’s bewildering that I am being made to look like some kind of jerk for my comments. All the hate is not a good look on most people here. Sorry if you were offended.
HENRY – Looks pretty clear that this was a homeless fire, and most are when in these areas. I never disputed that.
