– Cal Fire crews responded to a reported structure fire in California Valley on Monday afternoon. The blaze, which began at a structure before spreading to the adjacent grass, prompted the dispatch of air attack resources, according to a report by the San Luis Obispo Tribune.
At approximately 12:23 p.m., authorities received initial reports of the fire at the intersection of Angwin Trail and Alleghany Road.
By 3:30 p.m., firefighters had achieved 95% containment over a 110-acre area, according to the Tribune. To tackle the fire head-on, Cal Fire deployed eight engines, two crews, two bulldozers, and a water tender. Additionally, the Bureau of Land Management contributed two engines and a hotshot crew to the firefighting efforts, according to the Tribune. Recognizing the gravity of the situation, Cal Fire enlisted the support of three tankers and a helicopter for an air attack, as outlined in the report.
