Fire at the Farm
A grass fire erupted at Loma Vista Farm on Friday, Feb. 15, across from the office side of the Farm at about 2:45 p.m. Wind was blowing toward the Farm rather than in its usual westerly direction, and that apparently caused an ember to ignite a bale of straw in the garden.
The Vallejo Fire Department responded quickly, making sure the fire was out and that it had not spread to other areas. Firemen are expected to check on the area over the next day or so as a precaution.
There have been several such small fires over the last few years, but this one was a bit bigger and came closer to causing serious damage.

Valero Refinery Donates $10,000 to Loma Vista Farm Every year Valero Refinery holds a golf tournament, the Texas Open Benefit for Children Golf Classic. The money raised from this Golf Classic is donated to various local communities where a Valero corporate office is located. Once again Valero generously recognized Loma Vista Farm’s dedication to the children and community of Vallejo by awarding a grant of $10,000.
Morris Velasco, vice president of The Friends of Loma Vista Farm, received the check from Sue Fisher-Jones, media executive director of Valero Benicia. The Friends of Loma Vista Farm are grateful for Valero’s continued commitment to the Farm and to other nonprofit organizations in the community. |
