Paul Wellman of The Independent reports live on KCSB-FM from the “mop up” area on Mountain Drive, near the intersection of Mountain Drive and Coyote Road. He described being in the middle of the fire as it grew larger last evening.
The Independent is reporting that because water reserves are low, crews fighting the Tea Fire announced this morning that they want Santa Barbara residents to use as little water as possible. Turn off your lawn sprinklers and keep personal use to minimum.
Direct Relief International (DRI), in cooperation with the Santa Barbara County Health
Department and the City of Santa Barbara will be distributing free NIOSH N-95 face masks to residents between 11:30 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. on Friday, November 14, 2008 at MacKenzie Park in the parking lot off Los Positas Road.
DRI has a very limited supply of masks so please request only what you absolutely need if you cannot avoid outdoor exposure to the smoke generated by the Tea Fire.
Also, Ray Ford reports that it is anticipated that the winds will pick up as the day progresses, and that Rattlesnake Canyon is very critical right now, as the fire is making it’s way up the west side of Rattlesnake Canyon. If it reaches the West Ridge of Rattlesnake, the next stop for the fire is Mission Canyon.
You can listen to Ray Ford’s full report below.

KCSB is mourning the loss of Bill “Billy Clarke” Savoy, who passed away yesterday morning after a brief but valiant fight with cancer. Bill, better known to KCSB listeners as Billy Clarke and the host of Music Soup, would play an amazing assortment of music, much of it found at garage sales, including blues, country, rock and things which defy genre categories. Often on Thursday nights he was joined by other DJ’s and they would talk about the music, good, bad and indifferent. And once a month, he liked to have people read their poetry during the program.
Bill was also a dedicated volunteer behind the scenes, participating in numerous KCSB projects, including editing audio for the Santa Barbara Lecture Series.
KCSB would like to extend our condolences to Bill’s family, friends and listeners. Bill will, most certainly, be missed by many.
