Vegetation Fire Response on Foxen Canyon Road
Originally reported by BobScan
Large response heading to 8335 Foxen Canyon Road in Santa Maria. The closest cross street is Cuaslui Creek.
Call time is 9:49 a.m. (Thursday). Several resources en route, potential for the fire to get pretty big.
Heard the forward process has been halted with a secure line around the fire. Possibly due to a quick response from Lake Fire resources.
I’m signing off on this one.

Heard it was about three acres upon arrival. Air support is on the scene.
Named the Fox Fire. It’s not too far from the northwest scar of the Lake Fire.
