Montecito Tea Fire Update: October 14, 9:30 a.m.
College administrators are meeting at 10 a.m. to determine needs and how alumni and parents can best be of assistance to displaced faculty and students. Stand by for more information to follow via e-mail.
In the meantime, this is the latest information:
Students sheltered in place overnight at Murchison Gym. Everyone is safe and accounted for. Those still on campus who wish to leave and have means to do so are allowed off-campus. Those leaving campus will not be allowed to return for at least 24 hours.
There have been more than a dozen houses at Las Barrancas (faculty housing) destroyed in addition to eight structures lost or significantly damaged by fire on campus, which include: the Physics Building, the ‘old Math” building, Bauder Hall, the Quonset Huts, and portions of Clark Hall.
Locals wishing to extend temporary housing to those displaced by the fire should send their name, phone contact information, e-mail address, house address, and the number of individuals they can accommodate to: westmonthousinghelp@gmail.com.
The Westmont Web site is intermittent, phone service is down, and e-mails to all westmont.edu addresses are bouncing. The emergency hotline number at 1-888-565-7911 has current information.
I will update as more information becomes available. Thank you for your prayers,
Janice Wagner
Director of Alumni & Parent Programs
