#CaminoFire is burning near the San Marco Pass above #SantaBarbra and you're asked to avoid Hy 154 this evening. You'll have to use the #101fwy instead. @KNX1070 #knxtraffic pic.twitter.com/kiQZCfOIM0

People in the Painted Cave and Trout Club communities are being told to leave their homes as well.
