UPDATE (5:50 p.m.) - The San Luis Obispo County Fire Department reports that the vegetation fire was extinguished Sunday afternoon after burning a 100-foot by 50-foot area in Templeton.

PG&E confirmed to KSBY that the downed power line triggered the outage that affected 1,399 people in Templeton Sunday afternoon.
