Update: Westmont College and the Tea Fire Aftermath

The danger and emergency for Westmont College has passed in large measure, even if it has not for the larger community.

I am concluding my emergency posts on the Tea Fire and its effects on Westmont College, however, I will post other interesting items related to the fire as they come to my attention. Westmont is back up and running as well as it can be given the recent events. They are posting new information/announcements/photos/etc. to their website at: http://www.westmont.edu/

The school is accepting donations for recovery from the fire and welcomes the volunteerism of the community. Please contact the school through the directions on the website. Please keep in mind that at least 14 school related households were also destroyed in the fire beyond those buildings destroyed on the campus. There is also far more damage in the surrounding communities and the fire is not yet out. There are still prayers to be said and hands to get dirty on behalf of all those effected by the
fire.
