“Highway 166 near the Santa Barbara County and San Luis Obispo County line” SR 166 is essentially the SLO/SB county line. What a stupid statement, is this AI or just filler?


The county line is irrelevant, Santa Maria Fire, Santa Maria CHP, Cuyama County Fire and Sheriff, and USFS Pine Canyon (when open) respond to everything on 166. SLO county fire is out of Nipomo, and generally the last to arrive.
