That is nice and all, but I can't help but think that there's a bit of brown-nosing going on here. I don't Gap Fire evacuees getting such an offer.

The fire apparently moved towards downtown. Reports are coming in that no Hollywood celebrities have lost their homes yet. Oprah will have someplace to go for Thanksgiving. Thank GOD Over 100 houses destroyed overnight. The fire apparently moved towards downtown.

Here is the phone number: 805-681-5197. As usual with emergency call centers in this town, calling this number will result in hearing a busy signal. KEYT reports that there is a call center set up.
