What burned?
• The Island is fortunate not to have suffered more damage than it did. A home and six commercial structures were lost within Avalon city limits. • On Conservancy-stewarded land, some fences and signs, plus some recreational and camping facilities were lost, as well as about 4800 acres of chaparral, grassland, and rare coastal sage scrub and oak woodland—about one tenth of the Island. Luckily, most camping and recreational facilities were outside the fire area. The City of Avalon and most activities in the Interior are available for Island residents and guests to experience and enjoy.
