Correction

Correction: pre-evacuation is Zones 3 and 5, not 3 and 4

The previous update named the wrong zone. The pre-evacuation notice covers Zones 3 and 5. Zone 4 is not affected. We are sorry for the confusion.

Pre-evacuation notice for Zones 3 and 4

The fire is estimated at 60 acres with no containment. Zones 3 and 4 are now under a pre-evacuation notice: be ready to leave at short notice, and take your go-bag, medications and pets with you if you decide to leave early. Zone boundaries are on the linked map. If you are not sure which zone you are in, assume the more cautious one.
