The San Benito County Sheriff's Office located the remains of three bodies on a property where a vegetation fire is burning. The Panoche Fire started Monday night, and has spread to 64 acres. Around 10:30 p.m., firefighters found a body in what appeared to be the remains of a camping trailer at a property in the 20000 block of Panoche Road. After taking a closer look, detectives discovered the remains were of a woman, a toddler and an infant. "The structure over there is a trailer and also an unburned trailer, and then right at the base of the tree is where we think the origin of the fire was and then burned into that slope behind me, transferring over to that other slope, that is the 64 acres that were burned," said Monterey County Cal Fire PIO David Clark. The sheriff's office is not releasing the victims names at this time.
