Fort Ross State Historic Park and the County of Sonoma are pleased to announce the opening of an emergency service station in the park's parking lot. The station will be open from 8:00 am - 5:00 pm and staffed by County employees.
The station has been set up in response to the severe storm that has impacted Sonoma County. We encourage all those affected by the storm to take advantage of this resource.
