The Lake Fire, burning in northern Santa Barbara County, has grown to slightly more than 34,000 acres.
The fire burned a little more than 4,000 acres over the 24-hour period spanning Tuesday morning to Wednesday morning. Containment did not increase during that span. With the fire expanding in acreage and more personnel being assigned to the blaze, officials have now split the firefight into north and south zones. The firefight remains under a unified command but with two fire camps to support firefighting efforts.
