Two Shelters Remain Open for Wildfire Evacuees
Sept. 4, 4:00 p.m - Two American Red Cross shelters remain open for wildfire evacuees. The Red Cross has provided overnight stays for more than 700 people at seven shelters since wildfires first erupted on Aug. 27.
Nearly 500 Red Cross volunteers from throughout California have assisted residents during the wildfires, providing : 5,100 meals, 8,600 snacks, 525 comfort kits (containing a toothbrush and other personal hygiene items) and dozens of clean-up kits (containing a broom, mop and other cleaning supplies). Red Cross volunteers are now assessing damage in areas where homes were destroyed to verify the need for future Red Cross services.
The following shelters continue to be open for wildfire evacuees:
Golden Valley High School
27051 Robert C. Lee Parkway
Newhall, CA 91350
Verdugo Hills High School
10625 Plainview Avenue
Tujunga, CA 91042
-------------------------------------
At approximately 04:00, Wednesday morning (9/3/09), the L.A. County Sherriff's Department ordered the evacuation of 15 to 20 residences in the Dillon Divide Area. The residents were told to evacuate their homes before 0:700. Dillon Divide is located 6 miles north of Highway 210 on Little Tujunga Canyon Road. A shelter was established at the Golden Valley High School in Santa Clarita.
Evacuations were necessary when strong down slope winds caused a significant increase in fire behavior. Operations Chief, Don Will ordered the all resources off the fire line (division F) when fire behavior became erratic.
Fire conditions on the Station Fire are constantly changing. Be sure to check for changes in evacuations by dialing 211.
