You may have received a Wireless Emergency Alert from the County of San Luis Obispo. Fire crews are responding to the Grade Fire east of Highway 101 on the Cuesta Grade, north of San Luis Obispo. An evacuation order is in effect for an area east of Highway 101.
The Grade Fire is not impacting the Cal Poly campus at this time. Cal Poly Emergency Management is monitoring the incident.

@NASA astronaut emeritus, @USNavy veteran, and Cal Poly alumnus Victor Glover has joined the university in a full-time leadership role.
We are proud to welcome you home, Victor! ๐
Dionna and I are excited to come back to San Luis Obispo, where we met 30 years go this month, and join the Mustang community. #CalPolyProud
The most meaningful moments of my NASA career were supporting astronauts and their families through missions, and mentoring interns and new hires as they began their own journeys in technical and public service.
Service is ultimately about people, all people.
Iโm excited to share that I have joined my alma mater, @CalPoly, focused on strategic initiatives, partnerships and philanthropy.
As I retire from the U.S. Navy and transition to NASA astronaut emeritus, Iโm grateful to continue serving NASA while beginning this new chapter at Cal Poly.
I look forward to helping create more opportunities for the next generation of STEM, faith, and service leaders through Cal Polyโs Learn by Doing education.
