@LosPadresNF Proud of our Los Padres NF Firefighter,
Good morning Montecito! The NWS is tracking a storm for next week. This is an early forecast, and we expect to see some changes in timing, intensities, and total rain amounts before it gets here. Take time to get prepared. Stay tuned for updates throughout the week.
#JeffValleyRx 2/3/24 - The CNF PRD is doing a prescribed burn on the Jeff Valley Project. Residents & visitors will see smoke visible throughout the week in the areas of Palomar Mtn, Hwy 79, Hwy 76, & surrounding communities. DO NOT REPORT. For info: inciweb.wildfire.gov/incident-infor…
Press Release: In anticipation of the predicted heavy rain from the upcoming storm, the Santa Barbara County Fire Department, in collaboration with the Operational Area departments, is proactively prepositioning resources thanks to funding from @Cal_OES.
Santa Barbara is draining off after some of the most intense rain and flooding it has seen in a long time. The 9 AM hour was a gusher. Multiple intersections, underpass, crossings, and streets that do not normally flood were under water.
Dog Rescue : SBC ME 26 responded to the 3500 Blk. Hadley Wy. Orcutt. Sage, a yellow lab, was trapped under a deck during heavy rains w/rising water after crawling through a small opening. Crew removed parts of the deck, rescuing her from rising waters. CT 9:46 am.
This is the last 24 hours of accumulated rain here in Montecito. We have only found a few minor road issues. We expect more rain today, possibly up to 2”, & some wind this morning, all of our creeks, water ways, and debris basins are doing well and have plenty of capacity left.
