The last time we were affected was when the La Conchita landslide roared onto the highway area and shut down north/south Highway 1 from Santa Barbara to the rest of So Cal. My son got stuck at UCSB until they cleared the road. He was determined and asked me how to get home for a friend's wake and another friend's wedding. Today, the residents are ready to evacuate from La Conchita due to this latest fire. Having just driven to Santa Barbara for the holidays, that whole area was/is ripe for something crazy. It is/was so dry up there. The drive along the coast is the only direct way to get from Santa Barbara to points South. We were lucky as a long 6 hour trip back up north to Santa Maria and over to Highway 99 and back to LA would have been an extra long trip. Currently, the northbound Highway 1 is closed.

MUGU to Santa Monica is very dry and crunchy, too. http://www.cnn.com/2017/12/08/us/california-wildfires/index.html This just popped up on So Cal fires: Oceanside/San Diego area evacuations due to the LILAC fire.
