Park Lodge Evacuated Due To Bomb Threat

The front desk manager at the Point Cavello Lodge in Fort Baker called park dispatch just after 7 a.m. on January 7th and reported that she’d received a bomb threat via email on the lodge’s computer. Operations supervisor Kim Coast was notified and summoned US Park Police criminal investigators and bomb-sniffing dogs. Coast then contacted four on-duty protection rangers and met with them to develop a plan for closing roads and evacuating lodge guests and employees. USPP sergeant Tom Hart and another officer soon arrived on scene. All structures were vacated and Park Police and Marin County canine units began checking the facilities. Lodge guest were kept warm inside a park building. All buildings were deemed clear by 10 a.m. and normal operations resumed. Detectives are continuing the investigation.
