Forward progress of a small vegetation fire between Buellton and Lompoc in Santa Barbara County has been stopped, according to a tweet from Santa Barbara County Fire Department PIO Scott Safechuck.
The fire is burning near the 600 block of Mail Road about 7 miles west of Buellton. It’s estimated to be about 1 to 1.5 acres.
A Santa Barbara County Air Support Unit helicopter made water drops. Air tankers, which were originally on scene, have returned to base.
Santa Barbara County fire resources remain in the area for “mop-up,” according to Safechuck.
