Plans for building a new Cal Fire station in Creston took a step forward on Wednesday when the Creston Advisory Body unanimously voted to recommend the design proceed based on the conceptual drawing presented at the meeting.

Representatives from RRM Design Group came to the meeting and showed a drawing based on feedback from prior meetings with Creston residents. The design incorporates design elements from barns in the area and the drawing was met with a warm round of applause from those in attendance.

�I got a sneak preview [Tuesday] and I was very impressed,� said Cal Fire San Luis Obispo Unit chief Matt Jenkins. �I think it�s beautiful.�

The So. Cal. Fires sure can REEK
havoc, even in my Motel Room, in Provo Utah !!!

I called 911 and all the officials
responded immediately !!!

The Fire Dept. informed Me of the grass fires in So. Cal.

At first They were racing all over
the place, seeking a FIRE...HA HA !

Actually It wasn't that funny !!
I'm already sick ( in Provo ) and
So. Cal. has caused me to have a
worse headache, burning eyes, a
worse sore throat and now I am coughing ! ! !

It's truly amazing how a Grass
Fire in the Southern Part of
California can affect another state that is 2 states away ! !

****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

How fires get their names

Every year in California thousands of wildfires start throughout the state. In most cases, the dispatch center sending the initial resources to a wildland fire will designate a name for the fire, but the first on scene engine or fire official can also name the incident. Fires are usually named for the area in which they start – a geographical location, local landmark, street, lake, mountain, peak, etc. Quickly naming the fire provides responding fire resources with an additional locater, and allows fire officials to track and prioritize incidents by name. For example during the Southern California Fire Siege of 2003, the largest wildland fire in California history, the Cedar Fire in San Diego County, was named after the Cedar Creek Falls area where it started. The destructive Old Fire, which burned during the same time period in San Bernardino County, was named after the road along which it started - Old Waterman Canyon Road.
