[Update: Friday, 12:53 p.m.] Mike Eliason with County Fire said the Woodchipper incident has been fully contained. A third brush fire (the first two in the area were grouped into a single incident for organizational purposes) broke out late last night, also nearby. Due to its proximity, it was named the Woodchipper 2 incident, and it grew to 24 acres before it was fully contained. All three of the small blazes, said Eliason, have been successfully "put to bed."
[Update, 3:15 p.m.] Danny Maher, the spokesperson for CHP’s Coastal Division, has said all lanes of Highway 101 will be open on both sides “within minutes; they’re probably open by now as we speak.”
[Update, 1:55 p.m.] The southbound side of Highway 101 near the Woodchopper brush fire has opened up, according to the California Highway Patrol's Buellton office. The northbound #1 lane is open, but other lanes remain closed north of Highway 154.
