The fire that broke out on Monday was 0 percent contained as of Tuesday morning and was threatening about 100 structures.
Within hours of being detected, the Alisal fire in Santa Barbara, California, tripled in size, prompting evacuation orders and the partial closure of a highway.
With the fire threatening homes and structures, the Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Department issued mandatory evacuation orders for Arroyo Hondo Canyon, Refugio Canyon and the area between El Capitan Beach State Park and West Camino Cielo. The order advised people in those locations to"leave the area immediately."
Officials established an evacuation center at the Dos Pueblos High School upper parking lot in Goleta, California. Large animals could also be sent to the Earl Warren Showgrounds. The fire's"rapid" growth, fueled by wind gusts up to 70 miles per hour, pushed it into Tajiguas Beach towards the Tajiguas Landfill and made smoke visible throughout southern Santa Barbara County, according to information on the National Wildfire Coordinating Group website.
