SEQUOIA FIRE UPDATE: Sheriff Downgrades Some Evacuation Orders & Removes Others from Warning List
Sheriff Boudreaux has downgraded the following areas from an Evacuation Order to a Voluntary Evacuation Warning:
-Silver City
-Mineral King
-Remainder of South Fork Drive
-Residents on Blue Ridge Drive
An Evacuation Warning means people living in the area are able to return to their homes, but should still be ready to evacuate should fire conditions change. These areas will continue to have check points and residents with proof of residency will be allowed to enter the area.
Areas REMOVED from Evacuation Warning List:
-Three Rivers area, including but not limited to, areas of Three Rivers, South Fork Drive (below Conley Bridge), south of Heidi Drive and Cherokee Oaks
-Balch Park, including Bear Creek to Rancheria Fire Road and Balch Park Road to Blue Ridge Drive
All remaining Evacuation Orders and Evacuation Warnings remain in place. Crews continue to work and travel in the area. Please do not travel into these communities, as extra traffic can impact the ability for crews to quickly get in and out of the fire area.
As residents return to their homes, please be sure to arrange for your animals that may be in a shelter to return home. You can reach out to Tulare County Animal Services to make those arrangements.
Reminder that the Sequoia Kings National Park remains closed to visitors, and the Sequoia National Forest remains closed to all visitors.
