Goleta Fire Burns 200 Acres, Threatens Homes

GOLETA, Calif. (AP) ― A wildfire in the Los Padres National Forest has forced authorities to evacuate residents living in the canyon areas north of Goleta in Santa Barbara County. 

The fire has burned more than 200 acres of heavy brush in the foothills of the Santa Ynez Mountains, U.S. Forest Service spokeswoman Kathy Good said. She said winds are pushing the fire down a slope toward homes in the Glen Annie and La Patera canyons.

Authorities issued a mandatory evacuation for residents in those areas.

Goleta is located about 8 miles northwest of Santa Barbara.
