Goleta Gap Fire - July 2008

Gap Fire in Goleta, Santa Barbara County - Shot from Goleta area, Ocean Meadows Golf Course - July 2 and 3, 2008

"The Gap Fire started at approximately 5:45p.m. on July 1 in the West Camino Cielo area, 4 miles west of State Highway 154 in Los Padres National Forest. The fire is continuing to burn steadily downslope from the top of the ridge and has consumed an estimated 260 acres. The fire is burning in heavy chaparral fuels (15-20 feet tall), in extremely steep and rocky terrain. Winds out of the north (slight "sundowner" winds) last night pushed the fire downslope to the south at a moderate rate of spread. During the early hours of the fire, spotting occured ahead of the fire and flame lenths of 10-30 feet were reported." - InciWeb.org (July 3, 2008)
