A vegetation fire broke out in Huasna Wednesday afternoon and burned nearly 250 acres.

As of Thursday morning, the blaze has burned 244 acres and is 60 percent contained, according to Cal Fire. Firefighters stopped forward progress Wednesday evening, and the blaze did not burn any new acreage overnight.

The fire broke out at approximately 1:41 p.m. near 4900 Huasna Townsite Road, close to Huasna Road. Initially, steep terrain slowed firefighters’ access to the blaze.

    They survived the drought, and the oil company bid to frack Huasna. Praying that they come through this onslaught unscathed.
