Decreasing winds are expected to aid firefighters battling the Colorado Fire near the Big Sur coast on Sunday — a welcome change after gusty conditions the past couple days sent hundreds of people fleeing their homes ahead of flames that also threatened the area’s famed Bixby Bridge.
Five-hundred people remained evacuated Sunday morning from the Colorado Fire, which grew slightly overnight to 1,100 acres, according to Cecile Juliette, a CalFire spokeswoman. Winds kicked up around 10:30 p.m. Saturday, helping fuel a nighttime run that bumped up the fire’s size about 100 acres from its previously reported total.
