The La Brea wildfire has now consumed over 85,500 acres of brush and timber in the San Rafael Wilderness area of the Los Padres National Forest. Large plumes of smoke were clearly visible over 30 miles away during the peak burning period. The north east edge of the fire burned actively with long flame lengths which could be seen from Highway 166. A cold front has moved into the area dropping temperatures 15 degrees while increasing relative humidity. Dozers and crews are still working to construct lines to contain the fire.
