The Jesusita Fire began around 2:00PM this afternoon in the San Roque Canyon area near Tunnel Road north of Santa Barbara. The fire is estimated to be 150 acres in size. The fire is burning in a north-easterly direction, but winds may change the direction soon. Please read and follow the evacuation orders below. In addition, folks living in or close to Mission Canyon should PREPARE for the possibility of evacuation.
Authorities are issuing an informational reverse 911 call for people east of Highway 154, north of Foothill Road and west of Mission Canyon Road. It is only to let people know there is a fire near them so they can start preparing.
