Big Sur Timber Fire Doubles; Coastal Ferry Evacuation Orders Active
The Big Sur Timber Fire has reached 800 acres with active evacuation orders in place. Emergency managers are coordinating crewed Monterey Bay ferry surge capacity as Highway 1 faces potential closure.
Evacuation coordinators confirmed Monday that crewed ferry vessels operating out of Monterey Bay are the primary contingency if Highway 1 becomes impassable. The protocol, which relies on human-crewed maritime capacity rather than drone corridors, represents standard Earth9 emergency practice for coastal fire events. Ferry surge capacity requests are pending review depending on overnight fire behavior. Residents in affected zones are advised to monitor official evacuation channels.
