There is a fast moving wildfire in our immediate area, and has burned portions of the sanctuary’s property. The chimpanzees and humans are all safe and the worst seems to have passed. JB just served dinner and the chimps are happy. We’ll provide updates as soon as we can assess the situation, but what’s important is that everyone is fine and the immediate danger has passed. A million thanks to the firefighters protecting the chimp building!

Thanks so much to those firefighters for keeping our people, furry and otherwise, safe!!
Glad everyone is safe. So out of curiosity how and where would you evacuate the chimps if needed?
When I saw the news, I turned to your website to check in our chimps. I am still very worried, but glad to hear that the immediate danger has passed. Keep us advised! Let me know if there is anything you need.
Please let us know if you need anything- I’m only a short distance away and have a spare bedroom. 509-312-9977
Just got home and saw the news report on the fire. So glad you are all safe, but it still sucks.
Thank you for this update. Very concerned about you all.
Thank you for this update. For those of us far away, there can be a time lapse with such events. I am very relieved that you are all alright, and the structures too. Did the fire harm anything on Young’s Hill?
Take care everybody!
So sorry to hear of this wildfire, but glad you all are safe. Thanks to the Fire Dept from all of us.
Was there any damage to Young’s Hill?
