Here is a link to the latest they have posted on the fire. I liked the Santa Barbara area when I lived there, but it wasn't nearly as populated as it is now. I went to school at Santa Ynez and lived in Paradise Camp. Got to go through the Tecolote (spelling) Tunnel several times as they dug it since my Father was a Foreman and my uncle was job supervisor. All this fire is in areas that I used to hike through.
