I was just at Shell Beach in Inverness and folks said that a state park official came and closed down the beach because of the fire. Have not seen official word on this yet. Anyone else have any information about state parks in the area?

Via Marin County Sheriff's Office - "Remember back in February when Marin County Search and Rescue and multiple regional resources searched for Carol Kiparsky and Ian Irwin for 8 days and found them in Inverness?
Friday, one of our search managers and an Inverness Fire Volunteer had the opportunity to meet up with Carol and Ian, give them an overview of the search and then the team went for a hike to try and determine where they got lost.
This is invaluable information for our search and rescue team for future searches.
We are happy to report that Carol and Ian are doing well and have fully recovered."

A tourist had heat stroke out by the lighthouse in Point Reyes this evening which was the cause of all of those sirens. The REACH helicopter was called as well. Hopefully the person was ok. Heat will continue through this week. Stay hydrated. Be safe.
