Hard Closures Lifted Until 5:00 am Tomorrow... it's official

July 12, about 5:23 pm...

Bear Kimber, EMT, from Cachagua Fire just called to say that the word she got from the Emergency Operations Center (EOC) is that the Hard Closures on Tassajara Road and around the Jamesburg and Cachagua areas will be OPEN until 5:00 am tomorrow morning, so that people can get to the meeting at Tularcitos Fire Station tonight at 6:30 pm. Call 659-7700 if you need further information.

I just tallked to CHP Officer Jones at the checkpoint on Tassajara Road near the Helibase. CHP field units don't have the word on this yet! If you plan on coming back, don't leave unless you're going to the Fire Information Meeting at Tularcitos Fire Station.

If you go to the meeting, Cachagua Fire will arrange for a method for attendees to return, probably by issuing passes to get by the checkpoints.

There's no guarantee of return if you leave to go somewhere other than the meeting, until the EOC gets the word out to the CHP field units.

Erin...THANKS for all the work you do here...and all the news...it's hard to come by! And thanks for 'sticking with the facts', whatever they are in the moment (!), and changing them when you find out different!

YOU ROCK!!! :)

Thanks for the kind words, concerned! I want to make sure that we live by what is agreed upon as fact, rather than rumor!

I'll keep digging down as deeply as possible... glad that the information is useful!

Best,

Kelly
