Flames Scorch Los Padres National Forest
LOS PADRES NATIONAL FOREST, Calif. --
A wildfire broke out in the Los Padres National Forest Sunday afternoon, consuming more than 800 acres so far.
More than 380 firefighters worked through the night, trying to build a line around the blaze at the Escondido Campground about 21 miles west of King City.
No structures are threatened, but 15 summer cabins were evacuated as a precaution.
U.S. and Los Padres National Forest Services officers were not allowing any media access to the area Sunday night, claiming that the fire was unstable.
Forest Service officials said the fire is about 5 percent contained as of Monday morning.
