If you see smoke this week in Santa Barbara County, officials say not to worry. Controlled burns in the Los Padres National Forest are underway. Officials say the bulk of the burns will be done on the Figueroa Mountain Recreational Area a few miles northeast of Los Olivos. The burns will continue for the next several months, to eliminate hazardous fuels from the area and improve the overall health of the forest.Share your comments about this story with us on the KEY News Facebook page.
