INCIDENT DATE AND TIME: September 21, 2020 @ 3:00PM
REPORTING DEPUTY: Sheriff Dave Daniel
DETAILS:
After coordination with the Northern Rockies Team 2 Incident Management Team, the Josephine County Sheriff’s Office is reducing a current Level 3 “Go" status of the Dick George Rd Area to Level 2 “Be Set”.
We would like to thank the residents of the Illinois Valley for their patience and understanding during the Slater and Devil Fire incidents. This current downgrade from a Level 3 “Go" to a Level 2 “Be Set” is for all residences located on the following road systems including secondary roads; Takilma Rd from Holland Loop Rd to 7050 Takilma Rd, Dick George Rd, River Grove, Beaver Meadow, Ridge Vista, Glory Ln, Lamont Way, Shadow Wood Dr, Jackadel Ln and Kirkham Rd.
Greenview Dr is remaining on a Level 3 “Go” evacuation status.
Although the Level 3 “Go" status is being reduced for part of these areas, we would like to remind those residences that you will still be in a Level 2 “Be Set” evacuation area. In the event of a change in fire behavior, you may be asked to evacuate at a Level 3 “Go” at a moment’s notice.
