Press Release Vegetation Fire Niblick 11_9
The Paso Robles fire department released a statement of a vegetation fire earlier this morning.
The fire broke out in the Salinas river south of Niblick at around 3:35 am today. The fire was in the center of the riverbed with difficult access. The fire was contained to a 20 by 20 foot area with no injuries reported.
The fire department says the cause of the fire was the result of an escaped warming fire from an adjacent encampment.
