Map: Alisal Fire evacuation expands in Santa Barbara County

PUBLISHED:  | UPDATED: 

The evacuation area for the Alisal Fire, in Santa Barbara County, was expanded Wednesday evening.

The new mandatory evacuations include Gaviota, Gaviota Beach and Las Cruces. The orders imposed Monday to the east remain in effect.

The fire, which started Monday near Alisal Lake, was estimated at 16,801 acres (26 square miles) on Thursday morning, said the report from Los Padres National Forest fire managers. The approximate perimeter is shown in gray on the map above.

The mandatory evacuation area, in orange, includes Arroyo Hondo Canyon, Refugio Canyon and El Capitan and Refugio state beaches. Also within the area is former President Reagan’s Rancho del Cielo, now owned by the conservative youth organization Young America’s Foundation.

The warning area was extended west through Hollister Ranch, almost to Point Conception.

Highway 101 is closed between the Highway 1 junction in Las Cruces and the west edge of Goleta.
