CARPINTERIA, Calif. - A suspicious fire over the weekend was very close to occupied homes in Carpinteria.
It broke out in the dry grass and vegetation at the Carpinteria Salt Marsh adjacent to the railroad tracks about 8:30 Saturday night. This is behind Alisos School on Carpinteria Avenue and next to condos and manufactured homes where flying sparks could be an immediate risk.
The Carpinteria-Summerland Fire Department and the Los Padres National Forest had crews in the area quickly to keep the flames from spreading.
The cause is under investigation but witnesses in the area reported hearing illegal fireworks prior to this vegetation fire.
The 4th of July in Carpinteria also had many fireworks reported in unapproved areas. The city has a fireworks ban and added extra security around the waterfront to reduce the use of illegal fireworks.
