Hot weather contributed to a flareup in a brush fire burning on the Central Coast.
The Alamo Fire has now charred about 250 acres of land near the Santa Barbara County-San Luis Obispo County line close to Twitchell Reservoir.
The fire began Thursday afternoon, and firefighters aided by air tankers stopped the spread of the flames by around sunset Thursday night. But, extreme heat contributed to a flareup Friday morning.
Evacuations have been ordered for the Tepusquet Blazing Saddles area because of the fire. Highway 166, which connects Santa Barbara and Kern Counties, remains closed to traffic.
