Hello,
Although our lives have been consumed by the PG&E PSPS over the last few days, we shouldn't forget the heroic efforts of first responders and staff from the American Canyon Fire Protection District, American Canyon Police Department, CAL FIRE, Vallejo Fire, Napa City Fire, numerous Solano County Fire Departments, Napa County Fire, Napa County Sheriff’s Department, American Canyon CERT, Napa CERT, County of Napa, and numerous others in response to the American Fire last Sunday. The American Fire was 100% contained by Monday evening after burning 526 acres, and thankfully, resulted in no injuries or loss of homes. The fire caused extensive damage to the Newell Open Space. While the recently rebuilt upper trails were very useful in providing access for the firefighters, the lower trail was damaged and will have to get rebuilt. The recycled water tank on the hill was not damaged. The cause of the fire is under investigation.
While the charred hills to our east may not be as scenic as we are used to, we did get a makeover on the old barn in our Newell Open Space (see photo below). The fire retardant left the barn a pretty pink, in spirit with October being National Breast Cancer Awareness Month, an annual campaign to increase awareness of the disease.
This week’s events placed a high demand for attention from many of the staff and partners who planned to participate in tomorrow’s Public Safety Open House. Unfortunately, the event had to be canceled. However, YOU can have your version of a Public Safety Open House at HOME! I want to ask that you take a little time this weekend to check out the resources we have gathered on Ready AC and prepare!
Jason Holley City Manager
