Dear Wine Community:
We sincerely hope you are safe and well. As you all know, the Alisal Fire is raging along our coast and yesterday the Board of Supervisors declared a local State of Emergency, asking the Governor for aid.
Here are some facts & figures:
- According to the latest numbers, we are over 13,500 acres burned with 5% containment.
- Highway 101 remains closed between Highway 1 and Winchester Canyon Road/Cathedral Oaks in both directions. Highway 154 is the alternate route, however expect significant delays on this route.
- Evacuation Ordering effect for Arroyo Hondo Canyon, Refugio Canyon, and the area between El Capitan Beach State Park and West Camino Cielo. Please leave the area immediately.
- Evacuation Warning for the area east of El Capitan Beach State Park, west of Dos Pueblos Canyon Rd, and south of West Camino Cielo. Be prepared to leave at a moment’s notice.
- An Evacuation Center is established at the Dos Pueblos High School upper parking lot at 7266 Alameda Ave, Goleta, CA 93117. Evacuees can go to this location to get information from personnel on site.
- If you need to evacuate animals, Earl Warren Showgrounds has been established as an evacuation center for large animals. County Animal Services (5473 Overpass Road, Goleta) is accepting small animals. For animal evacuation assistance, call 805-681-4332.
If you are in need of anything, food, help with moving, etc., give Alison or Phil an e-mail. We'll help connect you to resources and can act as a liaison to our community.
