Dear Friends of LBWF,

I wanted to write a personal note to express my deep gratitude and thanks to all the volunteers who have come to our aid over the past few days. They waited and watched as flames raced across the top of the mountain. This has been an extremely unnerving time but we have been able to pull through with the help of all the kind souls that have come forward. Thank you to everyone who has responded to our pleas for manpower, crates, and willingness to wake up at a moment’s notice to help us evacuate. Because of the overwhelming response we are prepared to take action should the need arise.

The latest update from fire officials is that the potential containment date of this horrific fire will fall some time after Labor Day. We will be on pins and needles until the fire is contained as it only takes one burning ember to float across the highway to send us packing.

I would like to send a special thanks to Donna, Renee, Cara, Margaret, Bjorn, Theresa, Kelli, Anthony, Ray and Gina for being there for me and the dogs.

We are not out of the woods yet and will continue to update the site with pertinent information regarding our potential evacuation. For those who have emailed with words of support and offers of help please bear with us as we answer you all. The support has been overwhelming.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart,
Linda
