An evacuation order is now in effect for parts of Big Sur, including the Library, due to the Timber Fire.
Follow @montereycountyca, @bigsurfire and @monterey_county_so for the latest updates.
We implore you: Do not come to Big Sur.
This is an incredibly serious situation. Fewer cars on the road allow CalFire and emergency services to do their job as effectively and safely as possible.
Thank you for your understanding.
