John and Ken on KFI are talking to Shambala Preserve’s Tippi Hedren as a guest.

It’s a big-cat and other exotic animals rescue located in Acton, CA. They evac’d some of the animals right away when the fire began to spread northward from La Canada but they ran into problems. Where do you evacuate a full grown male lion to, for example. So I’m interested to hear what she has to say.

Has she thought of the Exotic Feline Breeding Compound in Rosamond? They have all kinds of big (and small) cats there.

link to their location (zoom out a couple clicks for orientation). They're holding in place but ready to leave. Each animal has its own safety transport crate. Sounds like they have it together. They don't accept any animal without creating an escape plan for its evacuation. Strike teams are on location too.

I think they have about 60 big cats.

Isn’t that preserve right beside the tracks on the way to Lancaster?
