Firefighters will battle St. Malo blaze into Tuesday morning | 9news.com

That makes me heap Sad.

We were going there for a New Year's Retreat...

Sounds like no Injuries, so there's that.

From the story it looks like the Church was spared.
You'd think an historic site like this would have a at least a pond on site for such a contingency.

There is a Pond on Site... When I was kid and went there, it was like Camp Crystal Lake...

They told some Fucking Scary Stories there also.

The Bus Story was the Worst.

As for the Fire... It will be Interesting to see what could have been done Differently.

It's a Relatively new Facility, Constructed for the Pope, even though they won't say that's why they Closed the Camp and tore down the Dorms.

Talk about a Fire Hazzard... Those Dorms would have Torched something bad.

The Church on the Rock is pretty far away from the Center, so it wouldn't be likely to be affected, even if a Forest Fire started...

Relatively Isolated by Highway 7... With Water around it also.

Crews still working on hot spots at St. Malo Retreat fire - KDVR

Sounds like the "Hotel" part of the facility wasn't damaged...

They may be open for the New Years Retreat...

But it's Doubtful.

We've been looking forward to that all year... Damn it.
