Tonight after 7PM a structure fire occurred on Propeller Lane adjacent to the Paso Robles Airport. The fire was (very) near a chemical plant. Paso FD responded along with mutual aide from Cal Fire. The area was blocked off for obvious safety reasons by Paso PD. The fire was “contained” shortly after 9PM.
Here are a couple of blogs with frequently updated eye witness accounts of the fires around Big Sur.

Gleaned this from the CHP site; appears as though another fire has started on the Cachuma Pass area.

The CHP pursued a vehicle on Highway 46 East towards Paso Robles this evening between about 7:00 to 7:15 PM. CHP AIr-70 followed overhead and described the location of the driver as he foot bailed in the residential area off of Jardine Road near the Paso Robles Airport. The subject received a much slower ride to county jail for his actions.

This evening, CALFIRE dispatched to a field fire on Bitterwater Road in NE SLO County. At 9PM, Bitterwater IC reported 35 acres and one harvester burned, $2,500 crop loss, $340,000 equipment loss! This was an unlucky Friday the 13th for someone out there.
