A fire destroyed a barn in California Valley on Wednesday afternoon, according to the San Luis Obispo County Fire Department.
Shortly after 2 p.m., a caller reported a vegetation fire burning in rural California Valley in the Del Loma Trail area. Firefighters arrived to find a barn on fire.
Crews spent more than four hours battling the blaze.
“This fire could have been significantly worse without the residents’ defensible space,” a firefighter posted on Facebook. “Having that 100 feet of clearance around structures made a real difference. Make sure your property is prepared—defensible space saves homes and lives.”
