Firefighters from San Diego battling blaze in Big Sur

Fire crews are starting to get a handle on an unusual and dangerous wildfire burning near Big Sur in Northern California. “It’s unusual that this is happening in January, but we’ve been experiencing some pretty strong winds over the past week or so throughout the state,” said Fire Captain Frank Lococo with CAL FIRE San Diego. Evacuation orders remained in place Monday for the Colorado Fire, burning in Monterey County. “They’re making good progress on it, but it’s extremely deep terrain in Big Sur so it’s hard to get access,” said Captain Lococo. “It’s usually a pretty strenuous hike in for ground resources.” A total 60 firefighters from CAL FIRE San Diego – 8 engines and 2 hand crews – dispatched up to Big Sur over the weekend to try to help contain the fire. “They arrived in that county at about midnight, bedded down for a few hours, and they were on the fire line that next morning, so yea, it’s physically taxing and it’s mentally taxing, but it’s what we signed up to do,” said Captain Lococo.
