MRY-F027-A<\/li>\n<\/ul>\nAn evacuation order means there is an immediate danger to life and residents must leave. A warning means there could be a danger to life or property. People who need more time to evacuate should leave now.<\/p>\n
People under shelter-in-place orders who remain in the area should be prepared to live without outside help for at least seven days. Anyone who cannot remain self-sufficient should leave immediately.<\/p>\n
Residents should have food, water, medications, fuel for generators and other essential supplies. They should also stay off closed roads and avoid areas where firefighters are working.<\/p>\n
Fire activity and firefighting efforts<\/p>\n
Firefighters and heavy equipment are positioned on existing containment lines from Bottchers Gap and Kincannon Road to Los Padres Dam on the northern side of the fire. Crews are also working along Coast Ridge Road on the southeastern side.<\/p>\n
Firefighters spent Saturday improving those containment lines. Hotshot crews are camping in the Ventana Wilderness and hiking into remote areas that cannot be reached by bulldozers. Helicopters are supporting those crews on the fireline because of the limited access.<\/p>\n
Planned burning operations along Highway 1 near Pfeiffer Big Sur State Park were completed Friday night and held through Saturday. Ground crews are now mopping up and patrolling the area.<\/p>\n
Some unburned vegetation inside the fire perimeter continues to burn and produce smoke. Firefighters are monitoring those areas to make sure flames do not break through containment lines.<\/p>\n
Helicopters and water drops will continue supporting firefighters on the ground as conditions allow.<\/p>\n
Fire crews are also working with local environmental experts to protect sensitive areas, including archaeological and cultural sites, native plants, waterways and wildlife habitats. Those experts are helping crews avoid damaging water sources with fuel or fire retardant.<\/p>\n
Across the fire area, firefighters are connecting bulldozer lines, hand-dug trenches and roads to create stronger, continuous fire lines.<\/p>\n
