Basin Complex Fire Update (61% contained) This update was prepared at 21:00 hours 7/17/2008. "Battle Stations"
Photo: Eric Walters, evening of 07/16 facing Piney Creek from across CVR 122,000+ acres burned. Back-burning operations continue this week. The dozer lines are now staffed with hard-working firefighters. Base camp was moved from the Carmel Valley Village to CVR just east of Tassajara Road. There will be another meeting soon at the Cachagua Community Center. THERE IS A MANDATORY EVACUATION ORDER FOR ALL OF TASSAJARA ROAD AND CONNECTING ROADS, AND ON CACHAGUA ROAD EAST OF TRAMPA CANYON. THERE IS A MANDATORY EVACUATION ORDER FOR CARMEL VALLEY ROAD FROM PINEY CREEK ROAD TO MARTIN ROAD. CACHAGUA ROAD AND CONNECTING ROADS WEST OF TRAMPA CANYON ARE NOW UNDER VOLUNTARY EVACUATION. USE YOUR TIME WISELY. It will probably be AT BEST
another 72 hours before the mandatory order is lifted. This assumes that
the back-firing operations are 100% successful. If the fire does not
cooperate, the mandatory evacuation order could linger longer. THIS COMMUNITY HAS HAD OVER 3 WEEKS TO PREPARE. NOW IT IS TIME TO ACT. If you want to avoid any possibility of being blocked out from your property, go ahead and leave during the voluntary evacuation order. Otherwise, you run the risk of being blocked out. It is that simple. Be ready for anything. fire map http://www.geomac.gov fire map (with zoom and thermal imaging, click on "Wildfire Mapping" picture on left side of home page) INFO HOTLINE: (805) 961-5770
