Friday's incident began just hours after the Irish Fire that ignited Thursday near Tunitas Creek, which was extinguished with help from a joint aerial and ground attack. Cal Fire officials said both incidents were a reminder that California is at the height of fire season and encouraged everyone to report all smoke and potential fires as soon as possible.
Another quick attack has lead to a successful outcome on this one. Thanks to our mutual aid partners on the #IrishFire. CAL FIRE, Coastside Fire, San Mateo County Fire, @LaHondaFD @KingsMtnFire @SMCSheriff @CALFIREBEU @calfireSCU #CaWx pic.twitter.com/vBmyjPA4BP
