SANTA BARBARA - Just after four pm today (9/6/11) SB County Fire responded to a vegetation fire, located on a private ranch in Winchester Canyon.
SBC FD responded four engines, a helicopter and a battalion chief to the scene and was assisted by four engines from the US Forest Service. The fire was held to ¼ acre due in part to a plowed field on one side and moderate humidity and the lack of wind. No structures were threatened and no injuries were reported.
The cause of the fire appears to be related to a power pole in the area however the investigation is on going.
