The “GO” evacuation order for the French Creek and Campbell Creek subdivisions will be downgraded to “SET” beginning Saturday 9/10 at 9:00am. 

The French Creek and Campbell creek subdivisions will remain in the “SET” stage. You must be a homeowner in order to re-enter these areas. It is important to be mindful that firefighters and equipment may still be in the vicinity and traveling on the main roads both day and night. Firefighters are patrolling the area and working on fire suppression repairs along with back hauling firefighting equipment. Please avoid removing any flagging or numbered signs, as these are important reference tools for firefighters. At the very end of the incident firefighters will remove these materials. 
 

Smoke will be visible on the mountain, inside the perimeter within the foreseeable future. Wind and heat can cause fire activity to increase. Do not call 911.

Firefighters will continue to monitor the fire area by air and ground and will respond to any fire activity as necessary.
