La Brea Fire

The La Brea Fire was a fast-moving 2009 wildfire which occurred in Southern California in the United States. The fire began near La Brea Creek in Santa Barbara County, in the Los Padres National Forest.[1] The fire started burning on August 8, and just 5 days later on August 13 had grown by 10,000 acres, or 40 km2.[2] When the wildfire was finally contained on August 22, it had burned 89,489 acres (140 sq. mi; 362 km2.) of land.[1] The huge Zaca Fire burned in the same region as the La Brea Fire, and occurred just two years prior in 2007.[3]
