The list will be updated as city and county officials gain access to other areas affected by the blaze

With the week-old Jesusita Fire nearly contained and residents returning to their homes, the county and city of Santa Barbara have released a preliminary list of properties destroyed or significantly damaged by the blaze.

The assessment will be updated as officials gain access to additional areas, including the 1280 to 2300 blocks of Los Canoas Road, Upper Gibraltar Road at Camino Cielo, and North Ontare Road from the 1500 block to the north end.

Officials said the latest damage assessments determined that 78 homes had been destroyed and 22 damaged, with 67 outbuildings destroyed and 69 damaged.

In the meantime, officials have created a process for working with property owners affected by the fire. Residents who live within the county limits (as indicated in the list below) can click here or call planning supervisor Petra Leyva at 805.568.2071 for assistance. Residents with properties within the city limits can click here or call chief building official George Estrella at 805.564.5485.

County building and safety officials have inspected properties that sustained fire damage and tagged them with one of three tags to indicate structural safety. A red tag indicates a structure is unsafe to occupy. A yellow tag indicates that limited entry is possible and residents should enter at their own risk. A green tag indicates that the property was inspected and deemed safe to occupy. Areas unaffected by the fire will not be tagged. 

On Wednesday morning, the 8,733-acre blaze was 80 percent contained. The cost to fight the fire is estimated at $15.5 million. Full containment is expected by May 20.

Investigators believe that the fire, which ignited just before 2 p.m. May 5 on the Jesusita Trail in upper San Roque Canyon, was started by a power tool used to clear brush and are asking the public for help determining trail activities May 4-5. Anyone with information is urged to call the Santa Barbara County Tip Line at 805.686.5061 or e-mail .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).
