Del Mar Red Cross shelter remains on standby

Posted @ 3:58 PM

An American Red Cross shelter at the Del Mar Fairgrounds remains on standby, volunteers said, because of the possibility of Santa Ana winds returning later this week.

While there weren't any evacuees who stayed overnight at the fairgrounds Wednesday night, a skeleton crew of Red Cross volunteers has remained at the site, a volunteer said.

"It's just a big process to shut it down and turn it back over," said Katie Lally, a public affairs supervisor and volunteer with the Red Cross.

Volunteer Paul Miller said the Red Cross didn't expect any evacuees to stay at the location last night, either.

"If someone had to go there, it's open, but right now we're sending people to St. Peter's Catholic Church in Fallbrook and Valley Center High School," Miller said.
