FALLBROOK – Residents of the Sycamore Ranch neighborhood gathered at the Golf Club of California Tuesday, March 6, to hear panelists answer a variety of questions pertaining to communication dissemination, road closures and security during evacuation procedures.

In addition to multiple firefighters and California Highway Patrol officers, the panel was comprised of Lt.

Joel Anderson's office and Bennett Cummings of the county Office of Emergency Services. Seth Patton of county supervisor Bill Horn's office was absent.

The coordination of multiple agencies in control during the Lilac Fire was of the utmost importance to the residents who were affected. Relaying accurate and timely information was explained by Schuler, Abbott and Cummings. Other questions pertained to special assistance help, the opening of the Knottwood Bridge, water sources, vegetation and sprinkler additions and tactical patrol issues at road blocks.
