CA-SBC- Turkey Incident - Smoking Turkey starts deck fire

GOLETA - A smoking turkey starts a wooden deck fire in Goleta early Thanksgiving morning.
Just before 5:00 a.m. on the 6500 block of Camino Venturoso, a man woke up to find his deck on fire.
Santa Barbara County Fire responded to find a turkey smoker that dropped ashes onto cardboard sitting on the deck.

Fire crews managed to save the home but the turkey was a complete loss.

There were no injuries in the blaze.

Thanksgiving is the number one day of the year for home structure fires.

Editor - It was not known at press time what the Turkey was smoking...

****REMINDER**** Every fire has the ability to be catastrophic. The wildland fire management environment has profoundly changed. Growing numbers of communities, across the nation, are experiencing longer fire seasons; more frequent, bigger, and more severe, fires are a real threat. Be careful with all campfires and equipment.

"I am a firm believer in the people. If given the truth, they can be depended upon to meet any national crisis. The great point is to bring them the real facts, and beer." --Abraham Lincoln
