Progression

On July 4, 2007, at 10:53 a.m. PDT, the Zaca Fire started as a result of sparks from a grinding machine on private property, which was being used to repair a water pipe.[3][7][1] It spread to a size of 240,207 acres (972.08 km2) in August.[2][8] By August 12, progress was being made on the fire through the combined efforts of firefighters and aircraft. Firefighters were able to turn the direction of the fire away from the Paradise Road community.[9]

The Zaca Fire neared containment on September 2.[5] On September 4, 2007, the fire had cost $117 million to fight, and was 100% contained.[1] Hotspots within the fire perimeter continued to burn for over another month, until the Zaca Fire was fully brought under control on October 29, 2007.[6] Of the 43 non-fatal injuries, 2 occurred when a helicopter assigned to the incident crashed.[10]

Effects

The fire had primarily burned away from populated areas in extremely steep and rugged areas of the San Rafael Mountains in the Los Padres National Forest and the Santa Ynez River Recreation Area.[2] It only destroyed one Forest Service outbuilding. Its impacts on the environment and area water resources are not yet fully known.[11] Many trails and campgrounds in the Dick Smith Wilderness were destroyed. Since then, a number of them have been rebuilt.[citation needed]
