Broad River fire district Update
As of this morning established fire containment areas appear to be doing well. There is still a very large presence of fire crews working around the clock. Broad River has lost no homes and had no reported injuries. Personnel are out today in areas well outside of the fire lines conducting mitigation work. Please do not be alarmed feeling that we expect fire in these areas. These folks are just developing backup plans so in the event something happens we will have a head start. Also continue to clear debris from around your homes, gutters, etc. This is just good fire safety practices that all should be doing anyway.
Mitigation personnel will be working along Hwy 9 north towards Old Fort Rd, Stone Mtn area off Old Fort Rd, Camp Elliot area and Earthaven Eco Village.
