A rapidly growing Timber Fire in Big Sur has expanded to over 1,300 acres, prompting mandatory evacuation orders for several popular tourist destinations, including the Ventana Big Sur resort and Café Kevah. Residents in the area have been urged to leave immediately as the fire continues to threaten the safety of the community. Evacuation warnings have also been issued in various zones of Monterey County as firefighters struggle with only 5% containment on the blaze. Officials are advising visitors to stay away from the Big Sur area while crews work to contain the fire.
