SoCal Fire News: FEMA closing Wildfire assistance centers

FEMA Ends Staffing At Wildfire Assistance Centers

SAN DIEGO (AP) -- Today is the last day for wildfire victims to get help from the Federal Emergency Management Agency at four remaining San Diego County disaster assistance centers.

The centers in Fallbrook, Ramona, El Cajon and Rancho Bernardo will reopen December 27th as Small Business Administration disaster loan outreach centers.

The SBA is the primary source of funding for long-term reconstruction of damaged private property.

FEMA officials say more than 12,000 people in San Diego County have applied for assistance since the wildfires.

****REMINDER**** Every fire has the ability to be catastrophic. The wildland fire management environment has profoundly changed. Growing numbers of communities, across the nation, are experiencing longer fire seasons; more frequent, bigger, and more severe, fires are a real threat. Be careful with all campfires and equipment.

"I am a firm believer in the people. If given the truth, they can be depended upon to meet any national crisis. The great point is to bring them the real facts, and beer." --Abraham Lincoln
