Plaskett Fire Update, Day 20, 9/14

Plaskett Fire Evacuation Updates

Monterey County Sheriff’s Office is downgrading Evacuation Orders to Evacuation Warnings for Zones MRY-F034, MRY-F035, and MRY-F036.

The Evacuation Warnings for Zones MRY-F037-A, MRY-F037-B, MRY-F038-A, MRY-F038-B, and MRY-F039 are lifted and have returned to normal status. 

See zones: AlertMRY.org/Map

Highway 1 has been reopened between MM 11.1 and MM 19.0.

More info: AlertMRY.org/alerts

****

The opening of those last 8 miles of Highway One now means the entire highways is open. However, be aware there is still considerable fire traffic utilizing the highway.

REMINDER: The Monterey District of the Los Padress National Forest is still closed as firefighting efforts have not ended and the fires are not out as required to reopen.

  • God bless all of you and for helping the wonderful first responders and everyone else. Prayers are and always be answered!

  • Kate, once again your reporting has made the difference in understanding the fires, what is being done to combat them, important information on evacuations and so much more. Thank you from those non-residents of us who love Big Sur and have been following the fires with bated breath. What a relief to be at this stage at last.
