Firefighters have fully controlled one brush fire, and have 90% containment of a second on Vandenberg Air Force Base, in Santa Barbara County.
The Washington Fire started yesterday afternoon, burning more than 200 acres of land on the north side of the base before it was contained last night. It was full controlled this morning. The fire is believed to have been started by a power line downed by gusty wind.
Meanwhile, the Canyon Fire, which is burning on the south part of the Air Force base, is now 90% contained. It’s charred more than 12,000 acres of brush since starting last Saturday night, but hasn’t grown much in the last few days.
The cause of that fire is under investigation.
