them for training purposes. Thank you.

Sun, 9:00am- |
I'm back from my trip out of town.
Sorry I was gone so long.
Two structures were damaged by fires
this morning in the Job's Peak area of Cedar Pines Park today.
I'm not sure all the details on this fire at this point but 8 fire
crews were sent in but 4 were called back before they arrived at the
fire, so the fires must have been controlled. More info a
little later. I will update you on everything a little later
tonight.
Thanks for being patient.
T-shirts are available now. I will have a form up to order
them via the website later tonight. Or, if you happen to see
Ranger Al or me on the mountain. We will have them available.

OK, here is the plan. I am leaving
right now to fly out of town. I will be back for this weekends
activities but will be busy at those activities. So, I might
not have any updates for the next couple days. If anything
major happens, I'll find a computer to update you with.
Remember, we need lots of peoples help this weekend. Mountain
Friends and Neighbors event Fri-Sun. Rim High event and
parade Saturday Afternoon. Come help out a neighbor who wasn't
as fortunate as you were. And look out for Ranger Al and I at
the events.

with any problems or issues that they may be facing. The hours

Saturday- 9am-4pm
Closed Sunday
In addition, the Small Business
Administration (SBA) will be in the office to assist business
owners. For further information, contact FEMA
at:1-800-462-7538
BTW, on an unrelated topic. I
have received multiple informative emails from one or two people
that I have not been successful at replying to because or their
email spam software or possibly their email box being too full.
I want these people to know that I have received and do appreciate
the information they send but I get an error message back every time
I try to reply to them. Thank you for continuing to send info.
I'm sure you know who you are. :)

Fireupdate.com started just 3 weeks ago
this morning. Is it just me or does it seem that It's been a
lot longer then that.

Tues, 1:45am- |
A group of San Bernardino Old Fire
victims are starting to meet on a regular basis for mutual emotional
support and to share resources and information. They are following
the lead of the Fallbrook fire victims of two years ago and several
other burnt out communities that have created similar groups over
the years.
They will be having representative from some of these groups at the
meeting next week and will schedule other appropriate speakers for
subsequent meetings.
The Calvary Baptist Church at 3701 Sierra Way, SB CA 92405 has
generously donated their facility to host these meetings. Their
church burnt down a couple of years ago and they recently finished
rebuilding so they understand what the victims go through. Their
phone number is 909-882-2564.
The next meeting is scheduled for Saturday November 29 at 3PM.
Anyone who has had fire damage are free to join the group. If you
know anyone who has had fire damage, please tell them so every
victim may benefit from our experiences.
I was amazed at how helpful this first meeting was in answering
direct questions about what is happening in these first weeks after
the disaster. Everyone met others in their neighborhood that
have the same insurance company and started comparing notes on how
their claims are being handled.

Tues, 1:30am- |

victims of the fire and wondered how you can get involved?

Residents of Green Valley Lake, Running
Springs and Arrowbear: There is an event just for you
scheduled for Saturday, December 6, 2003 at 2:00 pm. It
conveniently called the "Green Running Bear 2003" Event.
Attendees should bring an appetizer, dessert, or beverage to the
event, enough for 10 to 15 people at least. (Please be creative and
be prepared to share your recipe.) The Planning Committee is working
with the local businesses to obtain food, drink, items for the
raffles, etc. Paper products (plates, utensils, cups, napkins) have
already been graciously donated. More information will be
distributed as it becomes available.
Games and special activities for children are being planned in order
to keep the children entertained and to allow the adults a chance to
meet their neighbors. Crayons, paper, poster board, safety scissors,
etc. are needed. Please send an email to Kathy Barajas at
k.barajas@verizon.net if
you are able to provide any of these supplies.
In order to plan for an event of this magnitude, we need to
determine an approximate count of attendees. Please email Kathy
indicating how many people will be attending. Please provide a
separate count of children ages 12 and under.
I'll post more info on this event when I
know more.
