United States - July 08, 2024

In a significant firefighting effort, authorities have deployed 10 air tankers and 3 Type 1 helicopters to combat the LakeFire incident in Santa Barbara County. The operation focuses on utilizing ridge lines and conducting retardant and water drops to contain the fire's perimeter. As of the latest update, the fire remains active with zero percent containment, and the exact acreage affected is yet to be determined as of the filming at approximately 11 am on July 6, 2024.

The fire has exhibited high activity and growth, exacerbated by last night's temperatures in the 90s Fahrenheit and relative humidity as low as 11%. Officials anticipate providing further updates on the total acreage affected as more information becomes available. An inversion layer has contributed to keeping lower-level smoke lingering in the area, adding to the challenges faced by firefighting crews.
