Plaskett Fire Update
Updated September 9, 10:45 AM
The Plaskett Fire, which began on the morning of August 26, is now estimated at 29,000 acres and 61% contained. The fire has remained on the ridges surrounding Treebones, and we are incredibly grateful to share that Treebones remains safe, as do the homes of many of our neighbors. 🙏
Our heartfelt thanks go to Big Sur Fire, the mutual aid crews, hand crews, air support teams, and all of the agencies working tirelessly to protect this resilient community. We are humbled by your dedication and courage.
For the latest fire information, please visit the Cal Fire website or follow Big Sur Fire.
Treebones remains within the evacuation zone and is currently closed. As fire crews begin wrapping up operations along the coast, we are hopeful to reopen on September 18, pending the official reopening of Highway 1.
In the meantime, our team is looking forward to washing away the ash, refreshing the rooms, preparing the grounds, and welcoming our beloved guests back to this special place we all love.
Thank you for your continued support, encouragement, and patience. We can’t wait to welcome you back to Big Sur.
With love,
The Treebones Team & the Handy Family ❤️
