MODIS map and morning update from IC Jeanne Pincha-Tulley

July 21, 2008 about 8:30 am

Here's this morning's MODIS update from Jim Kasson, with a brief comment:

"At my house last night we had a low of 49 deg F and humidity in the 90s for most of the night. The cool, moist air seems to have calmed the fire. There were no new hotspots on the morning satellite pass. This has happened before, and definitely doesn’t mean the fire is out, but it is certainly good news."

By the way, don't miss the Samoa HotShots Goodbye Ceremony in Strike Camp last night!!!

This morning's update from IC Jeanne Pincha-Tulley

The audio is available by clicking HERE, and from KUSP's website!

(pic: and you thought gas and diesel was getting cheaper!)

Points from the interview and other news:

Cachagua Fire Information Meeting tonight at 6:30pm at the Cachagua Community Park... I'll be there. Far more importantly, so will IC Jeanne Pincha-Tulley.

(Pics: The Havana Hotshot - Ole'33 - stocks up at Strike Camp this morning)

In casual discussion with David Olsen, the IC's Information Officer, he indicated that Thursday, give or take a day or so, they'll be breaking part of the Strike Camp and moving it out either toward King City or through Carmel Valley Village. The CHP may manage traffic during the moving operations. 

The checkpoint at Sleepy Hollow may also disappear on Thursday, (again, give or take a day or so) if all goes as planned.

The IC requests that locals SLOW DOWN! 

There are many, many fire trucks and other heavy support vehicles still on the road. The UC wants to avoid injury and accidents, which can easily occur at this point in the operational cycle, when people believe that the danger is over. Fire is not the only danger!!!

Word from the Sleepy Hollow Checkpoint about Contract Laborers...

Word from the Sleepy Hollow Checkpoint about contract laborer is that they will be let through today; however, they will need a signed note from the resident that they are working for, with the date, or date span, that they are working for you.

Be sure to include your full name and address and signature, sign and date it and include the name of the person working for you.

(I know, I know... it's only for a few more days... and "it's for your safety"... like removing your shoes and no more than 3 oz. of toothpaste at airport security...)
