FOTOS | Incendio de Alisal arde en el condado de Santa Bárbara
El Sol está parcialmente oscurecido por el humo mientras un helicóptero de extinción de incendios se prepara para hacer una gota de agua sobre el incendio de Alisal cerca de Goleta.
El incendio de Alisal aumentó a más de 15,000 acres, marcando el primer gran incendio forestal de la temporada en el sur de California.
El fuego ardía cerca de Rancho del Cielo, que alguna vez fue propiedad de Ronald y Nancy Reagan y fue conocida como la Casa Blanca Occidental durante su presidencia.
Los equipos de bomberos estaban protegiendo el rancho donde Reagan recibió a los líderes mundiales.
El incendio estalló el lunes en una cresta y se extendió hacia el océano, lo que obligó al cierre de la US 101, la única carretera importante en esa sección de la costa.
