@SBCOUNTYFIRE
MUSCOY: This afternoon, a reported structure fire in the 2500 block of W Darby wound up being a vegetation fire running through several back yards. #SBCoFD made a quick stop limiting the damage to an outbuilding while saving the homes and horse corrals on the affected properties. [Click Here]

is there any plans to down the monster guge ponderosa pine just to the northeast of deadmans curve in the parking lot of the healing center? it is the one that split about 50 feet up, and the whole 100 feet above the damage has noticeably increased its lean in the last week. if it falls, it will take out 5 properties, scary!
