Major Santa Barbara Fire – Hope CJ and PartnerCentric are OK
Santa Barbara has a major fire that’s out of control with “no end in sight” according to reporters. The fire started Thursday at 5:30 PM and the evening wind whipped it into a frenzy. Depending on who you listen to estimates are coming in at 100 to 500 homes lost including numerous multi million dollar mansions. The fire hit a wealthy area where lots of celebrities like Oprah Winfrey, Rob Lowe, Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Joneslive.
According to the latest evacuation maps I’ve seen, CJ and PartnerCentric are just right outside the mandatory evacuation areas. I’m sure they are close enough to be having problems with smoke. So if you need to reach CJ and have a problem, just be aware they are dealing with a severe emergency. People could be off because they lost or are about to lose their homes, or off helping family spray down their houses. The offices could possibly even be closed, I’m not sure.
Prayers go out to the people of Santa Barbara. Hope folks at CJ & PC are safe!

Just talked to Linda Woods, President of PartnerCentric. She’s OK and her office too. Smoke was so bad, she left town. Fire is out or at least under control now.
She said over 200 houses were taken out by that fire and of course other LA/OC fires are still burning. Scary!
