  • Tassajara included in this order. The monks stayed and defended the Zen Center during the Basin Fire in 2008. The battle put up by the five monks who stayed was a pretty heroic effort.

  • The recount of the monks experience was told in the book, Fire Monks. I don't remember the author's name but it was well written. I highly recommend it. It actually relieved some stress I had about wildfire.

    • My co=admin, Mike MOrales consulted on that book as retired Fire Capt. It is great! He knows the author and is giving her a heads up.

  • Is the Middle School Evacuation Center now open? I thought it closed Friday.

    • it re-opened because there were new Evacs. But tomorrow the evac center moves down the street to All-Saints Church because school starts back up.
