Goleta, United States - October 31, 2024 A dense cloud of smoke poured from the lit forest near Highway 101 on Thursday as firefighters battled a swiftly spreading vegetation fire in the Gaviota area. Crews were called to the scene shortly after 2 p.m., with the fire located north of the highway rest stop and south of the tunnel. By 3 p.m., it had already scorched 5-7 acres and threatened to expand across 50-100 acres, according to Santa Barbara County Fire spokeswoman Karen Cruz-Orduña. Two helicopters and two air tankers have been deployed to douse the flames from above as ground crews work to contain the blaze amid tough conditions.
