Twenty-Three Souls
On January 9, 2018, following the Thomas Fire, 23 people perished in a devastating debris flow that swept through Montecito.
Our community responded to this unthinkable loss with an outpouring of shock, grief and sympathy. We attended memorials, offered support as a community, and expressed condolences.
We were proud of our town, its tremendous response, its outpouring of love, and the Bucket Brigaders who worked hard to help their neighbors.
