No matter how much rain we received last winter, heat waves like this one are a harbinger of our wildfire risk. Check out our "Hot Topics" article in the @MontecitoJourn1 📰 https://t.co/y1QnpZKweS

I waited so long to get a nat of a sheep going “bahhhhhh” 🌾🐑

[Montecito Fire @montecitofire]

Sheep have arrived at Ennisbrook Open Space! This project is one of the many ways Montecito Fire accomplishes fire prevention & vegetation management. About 100 sheep will graze here through the end of May. The trails are open & you’re welcome to watch the sheep do their work!
