Advisory

Sunset Fire Returning Cautions

SUNSET FIRE RETURNING CAUTIONS
As residents are returning to their homes this week, after the evacuations from the Sunset fire, I want to stress the importance of the following considerations.
1. The forest is still closed to the public. Please do not enter public lands and disrupt the firefighters working on your behalf.
2. Burning restrictions are still in place. By order of Fire Chief Armstrong, “All Open Burning” in the fire affected areas of Sagle shall be extinguished, to include campfires, outdoor burning of yard waste, open flames devices and charcoal fires.
3. The established checkpoints will continue to be manned by law enforcement personnel, in order to restrict non-residents from entering the formally evacuated areas.
4. You are returning to an active fire scene where hundreds of personnel are still working. You will encounter heavy equipment and fire trucks throughout the area. Please give them the right-of-way as you travel.
