Santa Barbara: VMP - Painted Cave area

Possible Wednesday Project Burn, Smoke Visible from Entire South Coast

On Wednesday, April 2, 2008, the Santa Barbara County Fire Department is planning to perform a Vegetation Management Program project burn of several large vegetation burn piles in the area of Painted Cave on the South Coast. County firefighters, our Hand Crew and firefighting equipment will be on scene to manage the burn. It will be performed if weather conditions permit. Once completed, a portion of the unburned and hazardous dead vegetation in this area will have been removed and will lessen the threat of an uncontrolled wildfire. Smoke could be visible from the entire south coast for most of the day. Conditions could dictate delaying the burn for another day.

****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
