Santa Barbara County Proclaims Local Emergency Due to Lake Fire


(SANTA BARBARA, Calif.) – On July 12, 2024, the County of Santa Barbara proclaimed a
local emergency due to the Lake Fire, which threatens several communities including Santa
Ynez and Los Olivos, as well as ranches, farms, homes, campgrounds, and State Routes

County Executive Officer and Director of Emergency Services. The proclamation will be
taken to the Board of Supervisors for ratification on Tuesday, July 16, 2024.
Proclaiming a local state of emergency is an essential step for local governments dealing
with significant incidents. It ensures that all county resources are available for the Lake Fire
control efforts and supporting activities. Having the proclamation in place also helps
facilitate state and federal fiscal assistance for local government and impacted residences
and businesses.


“The July 2024 Lake Fire is still burning and continuing to create dangerous conditions to
the safety and well-being of persons and property within Santa Barbara County. In addition,
the longer this emergency goes on the greater impact it will have on the economy of our
county,” said County Executive Officer, Mona Miyasato.


On July 5, 2024, a wildfire named the “Lake Fire” began burning in the Zaca Resort area in
the Santa Ynez Valley. This was followed by evacuation orders for approximately 423
residents and evacuation warnings for 1,182 residents due to threats to life and safety
caused by the Lake Fire. Residents can utilize the Santa Barbara County July 2024 Lake
Fire Incident Map to type in their address to see if their property currently falls within the
highlighted areas.
