[Update: Mon., Sept. 16, 2024, 3:50 p.m.] At 2:56 p.m., firefighters were able to stop forward progress of the Rosa Incident, a vegetation fire that began late Monday morning on the 4000 block of Santa Rosa Road outside Lompoc.
Santa Barbara County Fire spokesperson Scott Safechuck said that firefighters working through 10-to-15-foot brush in windy conditions were able to hold the blaze to 20-30 acres with the help of air attacks from helicopters and fixed-wing air tankers, that latter of which have since been called off. One helicopter was staying on the scene to assist ground resources, which include firefighters, engines, and bulldozers, and "personnel will work through the night to increase containment lines and mop-up hot spots," he said.
