After Paso Robles riverbed fire, work underway on long-term management plan
A fire in Paso Robles on June 22 destroyed two homes, damaged nine others and forced a third of the city to evacuate. The nonfatal wildfire started in a small stretch of the Salinas River, in an area where city officials consider dry grasses and brush an ongoing fire danger. Now, Paso Robles and the regional water board have agreed on an emergency plan to clear out the vegetation.
