It caused a little bit of trouble with some running and spotting but the air attack plane, a battalion chief, and several engines were all that were ultimately needed to quelch it. A fire at this locale due to shooting at the range occurs about every three or four years. This one was about the same size as the previous one, but a bit less dramatic with no air tanker drops as the previous one happened a bit later in the year when Tankers 94 and 95 were stationed at Paso Robles Air Attack Base for the fire season. They are not there right now due to the earliness of the date relative to the official start of fire season which I believe will be this Monday, June 1st.
