Blaze breaks out in eastern SLO; firefighters hope to have it contained soon

Firefighters hope to contain a blaze that broke out in eastern San Luis Obispo this morning by 12:30 p.m.

The fire broke out around 10:52 a.m. at the top of Woodland Court, which is a few blocks east of Johnson Avenue, between San Luis Obispo High School and the old General Hospital.

The fire had burned about 20 acres by 11:50, according to fire officials. It got within about 50 feet of one home, but then started burning uphill, away from structures. The hill was covered in tall, dry brush.

No one had to be evacuated, according to fire officials. Smoke could be seen in the southern and eastern portions of the city.

The cause of the fire is unknown at this time.

****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
