First Engine reporting 25-30 acres in heavy fuels moving downhill at a Rapid ROS, still trying to make direct access, starting evacuations of El Capitan Ranch. Good column developing and it’s leaning over.
32 MPH gusts at Refugio, 40 MPH Gaviota
Just pulled a second alarm
Fire is called the Real incident
Winds near 40 MPH over the fire, Rapid rate of spread.
Approximately 10 minutes from jumping the 101
Headed towards the great west side fuel break

If ya got “Periscope”. Close up footage
Firing out Watch what happened at 0:23 in @RC_FirePhoto’s broadcast: #RealFire 2
When I open link it starts after that 00:23
You have to rewind it
Guess I’m missing it. Not seeing what you’re referring to. Oh well, back to the topic at hand.

Ok, so I gotta ask, is this the first real fire or was it real-ly a fire, and if it was the first real fire, that would make the Real IC the first IC leaving all the rest as not real or perhaps imaginary?
Just kidding. I had to ask
Carry on!

It’s named after the El Camino Real the Kings Highway or Highway 101, real-ly.
