Once again a heartfelt thanks to the wonderful Indy for the coverage. The County should step up next time we have a fire event (which hopefully won't happen), instead of depending on our media sources to get out the info. The County kiosks were pathetic, as was their Web site.
Ray, and all the Indy reporters, you are priceless to the community! Thanks to the hard work of our firefighters!!
Lets hope that Painted Cave and the homes on the Pass are safe. Take good care, everyone!!

Thank you so much Erika and Ray for providing us with these maps. Our County officials cannot get it together, and the so-called "emergency information sources" (e.g., KTMS, and other radio stations) seem to have gotten back to business as usual without proper coverage. So we depend on you to keep us informed and sincerely appreciate your efforts. There should be hell to pay somewhere in the County coffers!!!! Why can't they keep a constantly UPDATED (not 1-2 days old) map for us? Unbelievable.
One question for Erika: it appears that your map shows the fire crossing Old San Marcos Road on the eastern side, is this correct or am I reading it wrong? Thank you again.

Thank you for the great coverage, the Indy and Ray Ford should be commended for proving us with some real information. The ability to get real updates from other news sources is dismal. KTMS means well, but hearsay calls from listeners with misinformation don't help anyone, and tuning in to get desperately needed info this morning and getting a Dennis Miller talk show is ABSOLUTELY PATHETIC!!!!! We need to have an OFFICIAL local source to go to for updates and real news. We need more, our community deserves better, as this is a life and death issue. We packed our car up last night and were extremely frustrated because we could not find out any information on whether to leave our home. Please, if any County officials are reading this, get a hotline number going that is updated hourly, or a better website with a live GIS map as another person suggested. Thanks.

The County should implement a new requirement that any time a power tool is used in a high fire hazard area, a portable fire extinguisher must be on hand. This would have done the trick for the Zaca fire too.
