Cooler, wetter weather and hard work by fire personnel are allowing the Lane County Sheriff’s Office to cancel the remaining evacuation levels near the Boulder Creek Fire, including Scott Creek Road and the North Belknap Springs Road areas.
“On behalf of the Sheriff’s Office, I would like to thank the incident management teams and fire personnel who have worked tirelessly to keep the Boulder Creek Fire away from homes and critical infrastructure,” said Sheriff Cliff Harrold. “As first responders, we recognize the effort, danger and value in what they do every day.”
Forest closures remain in effect in several areas across eastern Lane County and people should continue to respect those closures. Updated forest closure information can be found on each National Forest website.
Residents are still encouraged to sign up for emergency alerts at www.LaneAlerts.org.
