Brush fire breaks out above Montecito

A brush fire is burning tonight in the hills above Santa Barbara and Montecito, forcing some evacuations in the Cold Springs area.

Initial reports had the fire at 3 to 5 acres in the hilly area along Mountain Drive. It was reported at about 5:45 p.m.

Crews from the Montecito, city of Santa Barbara and Santa Barbara County fire departments have responded to the blaze.

Details are sketchy, but video from local television news crews showed substantial flames pushed by gusty winds.

A Santa Barbara fire dispatcher says an unknown number of evacuations have been ordered.
