Flat and Anvil Fire Evacuation Level Change:
In conjunction with the Southwest Incident Management Team 1 and the USFS, as of today, the evacuation levels around both the Flat Fire in the Agness area and the Anvil Fire east of Port Orford are being reduced. The Level I evacuation zone on the north side of the Flat Fire along the Rogue River corridor from Quosatana Creek Campground to Agness has been removed and no longer considered an evacuation zone. According to the USFS, there will still be some road closures around the perimeter of the fire scar due to there still being fire equipment and fire patrols in those areas.
The Level II evacuation zones around the Anvil Fire have been reduced to Level I. The Curry County Sheriff’s Office will continue to work closely with the Fire Incident Management Teams to make sure our communities are informed. It has been a long fire season and due to all the hard work from all the agencies involved in fighting these fires, there were no home destroyed from these two wildfires.
We all would like to remind our citizens that the fire season is not over yet and to still be vigilant and informed of the fire dangers that still exist. CFPA will notify everyone when fire season ends.
