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.
