Cal Fire is helping the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) suppress flames that broke out along Chimineas Road east of Santa Maria.
Fire officials with the BLM say the Chimineas Fire is 1,200 acres in size and is burning near the Carrizo Plains.
Containment is at 50% as crews respond with air tankers and BLATs which consist of three engines and one water tender.
The fire is burning in grass and brush.
No structures are threatened by the Chimineas Fire and containment lines are improving, according to the BLM.
This is a developing story and will be updated with new information as it becomes available.
