Basin Complex Fire Update

This update was prepared at 02:00 hours 7/25/2008.

INFO HOTLINE: (805) 961-5770

Back-burning operations went very well on Thursday. TeraTorch 77 was a stunning success, as were the helitorches. You'll have to see the photos (coming soon to this website). Thanks to the US Forest Service, Cal Fire and cooperating agencies the lines held. It is looking good, folks.

Please continue to drive carefully and slow down, even after the big Basin Complex has been extinguished completely. It will be better.

Buy a Basin Complex Fire T-shirt(s) for $20.00 each! Proceeds benefit the Cachagua Fire Volunteers, Big Sur Fire Brigade, and Mid Coast Fire Brigade. The shirts will be sold in Cachagua at base camp, and at the Cachagua General Store. They are also being sold at the Chatterbox Restaurant and the Taqueria Del Valle in the Village, and at the PassionFish Restaurant in Pacific Grove.

Our local resident, Joleen Lambert Skinner, did the artwork. You will certainly want to help your local firefighters by purchasing a few T-shirts. This shirt reminds all of us that volunteerism is what makes the world go round. The earnings will help your local firefighters buy needed/new equipment.
