Martin Fire Follow Up


We had a pretty surreal cloud of smoke move overhead and block out the sun from 3PM on yesterday (click any of the images above for full resolution). This morning everything was blanketed with fine white ash. The good news however is that after a 520 acre rampage, the fire is now 90% contained, with full containment expected Monday morning. Our thanks to the over 900 fire personnel who battled the flames.
United Way Santa Cruz now has both Summit and Martin fire recovery funds links on their homepage. They promise to ensure that 100% of all donations will go to victims.
