Crews and equipment from Cal Fire stations in San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, and Monterey Counties are helping efforts to control the Hunters Fire burning in the Sierra Nevada foothills of Mariposa County.
Each of the three Central Coast counties has sent roughly the same number of resources; five engines and 18 to 20 firefighters.
At 1300 acres and just 20 percent containment (Tuesday afternoon numbers) the Hunters Fire is the most serious active blaze burning in California.
The fire started Monday afternoon when strong winds spread a house fire to the surrounding brush.
