The LP's report was showing a Type 3 incident management team on the fire. This is a pre-organized local team that handles fires of less complexity than Type 2 teams, which have members outside the local area. Here is the link to the Regional Daily Situation Report:

ahh thanks for the update damn media saying 500+ acres
But anyway update from the media..
Monterey Ranger District, Los Padres National Forest, is reporting as of 10 a.m. today, 350 acres have burned and the fire is not contained with no estimated time of containment.
Two firefighters have received minor injuries and have returned to duty and so far the cost to fight the fire is $1 million.
There are 13 crews, 19 engines, two helicopters, nine air tankers, four dozers and 429 personnel assigned to the fire.
There was good progress last night on the Ponderosa Fire by firefighters. The fire remained active late into the night. By early morning, the marine layer had deepened allowing for good relative humidity recovery. Today's goal is to take advantage of opportunities to take direct suppression action, however, the terrain is steep with dense fuels and firefighter safety is the number one priority.
Air tankers and helicopters will be available today to support the crews on the ground.
This area was partially burned in the 2008 Chalk Fire but there are still many areas that were left unburned with numerous snags.
I'm to far to pick up anything besides fire net and air tac's. But i'm picking up a lot of p25 stuff
Los Padres wild fire
