SANTA BARBARA, Calif. – A series of small fires shut down Highway 154 between Highway 192 in Santa Barbara and Paradise Road in Santa Ynez just after 8:00 a.m. Saturday, according to the CHP.

Multiple spot fires on Paradise Road off Highway 154 brought out Santa Barbara County Fire and Los Padres National Forest crews Saturday morning. Later, another fire broke out on San Marcos Pass near West Camino Cielo, forcing a full highway closure.

The landmark Cold Spring Tavern was also closed due to the road shutdown from fire activity on San Marcos Pass but reopened Sunday.

Highway 154 reopened just before 6:00 p.m. Saturday, according to Caltrans.
