The park remains closed with an evacuation along Bear Valley Road of all homes and businesses, including the PRNSA office near the Morgan Horse Ranch. There are very few evacuation routes from West Marin so it is imperative that the roadways remain open for emergency vehicles and the evacuation of local residents. As several have asked, I'm happy to report the horses at Morgan Horse Ranch were moved to Golden Gate National Recreation Area.

For the most up to date information about the fire, including an interactive map, current evacuation warnings and orders, official incident command update, and recorded daily briefings, please visit the Point Reyes National Seashore fire update web page.

Attached is a new guide to managing through a wild fire from Congressman Jared Huffman. You can check air quality where you are by visiting the PurpleAir website.

We welcome the Northern Rockies National Incident Management Team, the interagency team from Montana that is managing the fire response as of Sunday. They are working closely with community, county, and National Park Service personnel. The Incident Command Post is relocating to the San Geronimo Golf Course as the expanded team outgrew the current location at the Point Reyes National Seashore Visitor Center. The larger space will also help firefighters and support staff follow the social distancing guidelines amid the current COVID-19 pandemic.

At this point, all of our classes and programs through the weekend are cancelled or postponed. We will be in touch about rescheduling these and future programs as things stabilize. We have no mail service and are working from home or our evacuation location, so you may experience delays in communication.
