GAVIOTA COAST, CA, CA - OCTOBER 14: Firefighters from multiple agencies fight the eastern flank of the Alisal Fire along upper Refugio Canyon as it continues to burn Thursday afternoon at near 16,801 acres with 1306 Firefighters on scene. Aircraft will be up making drops throughout the day in support of ground resources putting in line and defending structures. The fire stared Monday afternoon and grew quickly driven by sundowner winds as it burned through Tajiguas Canyon to the 101 freeway forcing closure of the 101 freeway. Mandatory evacuations are in place but winds have subsided Thursday. The 1955 Refugio Fire that consumed 80,000 acres is the last time much of the area had burned.
