The 3-thousand firefighters working to contain the 23-thousand-688 acre Soberanes Fire need housing while they battle the blaze. Motel 6 in Salinas has blocked off 25 rooms for firefighters, and C-S-U-M-B has offered up dorm room space, but more lodging is needed. Other hotel and motel managers are encouraged to contact cal-fire directly if they have rooms available. Firefighter housing is likely to be needed for at least another month. The person to contact at cal-fire is Dennis Miranda and his phone number is (562) 708-9631.
