[Dailydrool] Daphneyland update - 11AM Monday

[Susan Green]

Just got off the phone with Dawn.  The fire is getting closer, but they are not under mandatory evacuation as of now.
They are ready to go on a minutes notice.  Dawn said it is hard to tell how much closer it is during the day b/c of all the smoke.  In the evening you can judge the distance better b/c you can see the fire itself.

One of Daphneyland's volunteers has opened a FirstGiving page and has also posted on Craiglist for volunteers in the Tarzana area in case of evacuation.

Even if the manage to not have to evacuate they will still need funds for eye wash, eye drops, and new toys....just to mention a few things off the top of my head.  All the stuffies that were in the yard have to be disposed off, not b/c of the smoke, but b/c many of them have holes from hot ashes that have fallen on them.  And we all know that the Hounds would just pull out the stuffing and eat it :)

Here is the link to sign up to volunteer in case of evacuation.  This is for the Tarzana area, about 50 miles south of the ranch.

Dawn has asked me to thank everyone for their concern.  And please keep the drool and prayers coming!!
