Fire District extinguishes Concha Loma kitchen fire
The Carpinteria-Summerland Fire Protection District extinguished a kitchen fire at a Concha Loma Drive apartment complex at 2:30 p.m. on May 5. A person had called to report smelling smoke, but the initial investigation of the two-story apartment building at 990 Concha Loma Drive revealed no evidence of fire. Further investigation showed smoke coming from the apartment building eaves, and all residences were evacuated as a precaution. The smoke was traced to an upstairs unit, where firefighters entered and extinguished the fire within moments. Three engines, two battalion chiefs and one fire investigator responded. Montecito Fire Protection District, Ventura County Fire and Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Office assisted with the fire. The cause is still under investigation.
Boys & Girls Club searches for new director
Carpinteria Boys & Girls Club is seeking a new director after the departure of Timothy Grigsby, who had served the club since August 2015. In the interim, former Director Jamie Collins will oversee the club. She commented that United Boys & Girls Clubs of Santa Barbara County is seeking “someone with a passion for the community and kids in the Carpinteria Valley” to fill the director position at the local club. During Grigsby’s stint as the club’s director, he oversaw successfully completed renovations to the gym floor. Grigsby, who is said to have left his post to spend more time with his family, was employed by United Boys & Girls Clubs of SB County for several years, beginning in the Goleta club.
