Officials involved with the Woodward Fire are relocating the Incident Command Post and Basecamp to 5800 Sir Francis Drake Boulevard in San Geronimo, former site of San Geronimo Golf Course. In a fire response, such basecamps are strategically located to serve an incident and the communities. The first base camp location – the site of the Point Reyes National Seashore Visitor Center in Olema – was an ideal location at the start of the incident. By August 23, it was within the evacuation warning area. Relocating a basecamp to outside a potential evacuation zone is not an unusual practice and ensures critical response resources are ready to respond to changing needs of the fire. The basecamp personnel appreciate the patience and support of the communities that are impacted by the wildfire and the associated impacts from supporting the fire.
