Boone Fire - over 17,000 burned acres
Boone Wildfire (Coalinga, CA)
CCADT is assisting the Fresno County Sheriff's Office and Gimme Love Animal Rescue with evacuations and emergency animal sheltering for evacuees of the Boone Fire.
A temporary evacuation Point (TEP) is activated at the Keck Park Community Center - 555 Monroe Ave, Coalinga, CA. This TEP is for impacted residents to obtain information, congregate and make plans. Please note, this is not a county/Red Cross human shelter at this time.
A small companion animal shelter has been activated at the community center. Evacuated pets may be brought here but owners MUST be responsible for the care of their pets if sheltered here.
Livestock and equine can be temporarily sheltered at the Coalinga College Rodeo Grounds - 31373 W. Gale Ave. Again, owners are responsible for their animals care.
If you have questions regarding evacuation and emergency sheltering, please call or text (preferably) to (866) 333-EVAC (3822). Please check back here for updates or visit our social media pages.
