I couldn’t be more proud of all of those who got us through this past week. Our law enforcement officers, firefighters, and Facilities & Logistics team. Our EOC staff. Our executive leadership…many of whom were evacuated themselves. And all of the mutual aid agencies who have been there to assist.

Today we deactivated the EOC after Operational Period 18. I worked 6 of the nights & 2 of the days. Thankfully the last few were boring. The first definitely was not.
Over 1000 of our colleagues were evacuated & over 200 lost their homes, along with thousands of others. My heart aches for them.

Last Tuesday night I got in at 6PM for night shift in our EOC for the high winds we were experiencing that day.
17 minutes later the Eaton Fire was toned out. We spent the night watching the flames march towards us from the front door of our building as we prepared the best we could.

About to see Cirque de Soleil Mystère at Treasure Island, which is celebrating its 30th year. 20-some years ago I got to tour this theater as a technical tour for a conference (American Society of Safety Engineers I think). Looking forward to finally seeing the show after seeing backstage.

As a proud former UCSC firefighter, was very excited to learn that the banana slug is now the Official State Slug of California. Go Slugs!
