The Napa Fires are actually three different fires currently.  The Atlas Fire (which started in the Atlas Peak area) has destroyed 252 structures and another 5000 are threatened. The good news is that the fire is 45% contained.  Resources currently dedicated to this particular fire include over 2100 personnel, 182 fire engines, 35 dozers, 21 helicopters and 8 air tankers.  The Tubbs fire has expanded from its Santa Rosa origin, is threatening the northern end of the Valley, and is 44% contained.  On the other hand, the Nuns fire which has combined with the Partrick fire is threatening the west side of the Valley, and is only 10% contained.

Please do not do anything that would interfere with the efforts of Fire and Police resources to fight the Napa fires and maintain public safety.

Tax deductible contributions to help victims of the Napa Fires are welcome in any amount.

The Center for Volunteer and Nonprofit Leadership (CVNL) has been activated as an Emergency Volunteer Center, overseeing volunteers and donations for helping with the Napa Fires.  Please go to their website to register to help or to donate.

Community Action of Napa Valley, coordinator for Napa County’s Food Bank and Meals on Wheels programs, needs monetary donations and gift cards which can be used for fuel, clothing and personal hygiene items.  They also need an on-site generator.

The Napa County Animal Shelter and Adoption Center is accepting cash donations but does not need any more cat or dog food.  If you are able to open your home as a foster home for animals affected by the Napa Fires, please contact Deassa@JamesonRescueRanch.org.
