Officials point residents to InciWeb, Linktree and county alerts for Timber Fire updates
Summary
CAL FIRE and U.S. Forest Service PIOs said InciWeb and the incident Facebook page are primary information channels; CAL FIRE emphasized a Linktree with English/Spanish updates and Monterey County pointed to its red-banner incident page and the Uconnect mobile app and Alert Monterey County registration.
Fire public-information officers urged residents and media to rely on official channels for timely, vetted incident updates and gave details about where to find them.
"We're using InciWeb and Facebook for that," said Ralph Gonzalez, noting the incident's InciWeb page and a Forest Service Facebook presence. CAL FIRE's Josh Lovera described a Linktree the team maintains that includes direct pushes to social media and the most current updates in English and Spanish; he said the Linktree is 'always up to date.'
Moderator Nick emphasized county resources as well: countyofmonterey.gov features a red incident banner linking to the Timber Fire page, the county's Uconnect mobile app carries incident updates and evacuation information, and residents should sign up at alertmontereycounty.org for emergency alerts. Officials encouraged reliance on these official sources rather than unverified social media chatter.
