Jesusita Fire
The Jesusita Fire was a wildfire that began at approximately 1:45 PM on May 5, 2009 in the hills of Santa Barbara, California. The fire burned , destroyed 80 homes and damaged 15 more before being 100% contained.〔
On May 8, 2009, the fire perimeter extended from west of Highway 154, in the hills burned in the 1990 Painted Cave Fire, across the front country of the Santa Ynez Mountains east through Mission Canyon, Rattlesnake Canyon, and into the hills above Montecito, reaching the area burned by the Goleta Gap Fire in July 2008 and the Montecito Tea Fire in November 2008. Intense sundowner winds caused the fire to spread rapidly during evening and nighttime hours during its first three days.
==Cause==
Investigation determined that power weed-trimmers being used by two men to clear a mountain-bike trail emitted sparks that started the fire, which fully ignited only after the men had left the area. In June 2010 they pleaded no contest to misdemeanor charges of failing to have a shovel or fire extinguisher on hand while performing work capable of starting a fire, and were sentenced to community service.〔http://lompocrecord.com/news/local/crime-and-courts/no-contest-pleas-entered-in-jesusita-fire-case/article_07fdc314-85a3-11df-af60-001cc4c03286.html〕
In July 2011, 60 of the owners of homes destroyed by the fire filed a civil lawsuit against Stihl Incorporated, the manufacturer of the brush-cutting equipment, alleging that Stihl failed to warn users that the metal blades of the cutter could emit sparks capable of starting a fire in a high-risk area. In July 2013 Stihl agreed to settle the claims for an undisclosed amount of money.〔http://www.independent.com/news/2013/aug/01/jesusita-fire-settlement-reached/〕
