Publication Type: Announcement

Message from the El Dorado County Sheriff's Office:

Due to favorable weather and a positive change in the fire behavior over the last couple of days, we are lifting the evacuation warning at the Fork Fire evacuations in Quintette, Volcanoville, and Stumpy Meadows.

It is important to understand this does not mean the danger is gone. If the wind, temperature, resources, or any number of other factors were to change, the fire could change direction, speed, and intensity. We encourage all of the residents in the areas of Quintette, Volcanoville, and Stumpy Meadows to be prepared to evacuate immediately. Please visit readyforwildfire.org for advice on how to prepare your family and property for evacuation. Focus on being "set" to go and this link can take you to the specifics of what that means https://www.readyforwildfire.org/prepare-for-wildfire/get-set/.
