Episode Details

A fast-spreading Timber Fire in Monterey County’s Los Padres National Forest has scorched 2,000 acres and remains only 5% contained as of Tuesday morning, with 480 firefighters battling flames that are climbing steep terrain and threatening 259 homes near Highway 1. The blaze, sparked Sunday at 10:44 AM, is fueled by dry conditions and hampered by low visibility from a marine layer that grounded helicopters overnight. Evacuation orders are in place for some zones, with others under warning — residents can shelter at Carmel Middle School. While no injuries or damage have been reported yet, forecasters warn of continued warm, dry weather with a small chance of storms Wednesday.
