The volunteers that are working very hard to push out the information given at the time, are all residents of this community. We will continue to post information as quickly as it is given to us.
Thank you. Round Valley shelters for horses, dogs and people, should work if it comes to evacuation.
You’ve been told this before, but it bears repeating: all the volunteers deserve our highest praise. While we worry, you work *and* worry.

Thank you for official information. The TV networks want drama sound bites to entice viewers. We were broadcast less than a minute of your news conference this morning, with interruptions. Please let us know what is really happening, so informed decisions can be made.
Thank you for all your hard work both on the reporting and for all the firefighters working so hard to protect all of us!!! Many thanks and God bless!!
Where is the command post? I would like to bring water, etc. Where would I bring it?
Both the Command Post and Navajo County have stated that we do not accept donations. Incident Command teams are very well taken care of and have everything that they need. Thank you for your kindness and wanting to help.
Thank you for thinking of the command post. They are very well taken care of with water and other supplies.
Many thanks! We would all be in danger without your tireless efforts!
