Fire crews gained progress on a brush fire that caused a scare in the area of Vandenberg Village on Thursday.
The fire burned about 150 acres in the area of Santa Lucia Canyon Road and was 30% contained as of Thursday night. Officials said forward progress has been stopped.
KSBY talked to fire officials and residents about the scare this caused in the community.
“Luckily,” said Karen Cruz-Orduña, Santa Barbara County Fire public information specialist. “We do have some resources and we’re able to combat the fire.”

It’s unclear exactly how many firefighting units were deployed to the area, but a KSBY crew at the scene saw multiple air assets as well as first responders from both Cal Fire and the Santa Barbara County Fire Department.
Evacuation warnings and orders were issued Thursday but have since been canceled.
Many residents, like Nicole Murray, received the order.
She was on her way home when she said she started getting the alerts.
