Chimney Fire Update 9-1-16 & Hero Celebration Sunday!

Chimney Fire Update
Latest Chimney Fire Map

The latest update on the Chimney Fire is that it is 46,344 acres and 91 percent contained. This is amazing news! Just 9 percent to go before it is 100 percent contained and our lives can return to normal. We continue to pray for containment, for the safety of firefighters and first responders, and for all those who lost their homes or possessions.

We’d like to invite you to the Oak Shores Community this Sunday, Sept. 4, to show our appreciation to all of the heroes who helped fight this beast of a fire. We are inviting all of our South Shore and North Shore neighbors to join us, including Christmas Cove and Bryson Hesperia.

First responders and firefighters will be special guests! The celebration will take place from 5 to 10 p.m., with dinner taking place from 6 to 7 p.m. We will be serving tri-tip, King City pink beans, salad, bread and root beer floats. Coast is $15 for adults and $5 for children 10 and under. Soundhouse will be supplying live music and Glitter Glam will provide free face painting for the children!

Please do not bring outside coolers, as this is a fundraiser to support our community. All proceeds will be donated to OSCA Firewise to contribute to cleaning up trees and vegetation in Oak Shores.

If you’d like to attend, please RSVP to Janice Gillenwater at 805-472-9404 by end of day today, Sept. 1, so we can be sure to have enough food, and so we can include your name on our guest list at the gate if you are a neighbor!

If you have questions, or you would like to be a sponsor of this event, contact me at 831-595-9939 to pledge your amount. All donations are welcome, so we can treat our heroes the way they deserve!

As a reminder, please drive slowly and with caution around the Lake Nacimiento and Chimney Fire areas. As CAL FIRE explained, traffic is higher than usual in these areas right now. Plan ahead when driving and be courteous of other drivers and of firefighters working in the area.

We will continue to bring you updates on our Lake Nacimiento Facebook page. Continue to pray! We are grateful for containment moving in the right direction, and we hope to see you this Sunday as we come together as a community.
