10/27/24 - Sheriff's Office Cancels Evacuation Area Near Cottage Grove (Photo) -10/27/24

Cooler, wetter weather and hard work by fire personnel are allowing the Lane County Sheriff’s Office to cancel the evacuation notice near Cottage Grove, including all areas previously under a Level 2 evacuation.

The Lane County Sheriff’s Office would like to thank the fire personnel from several different agencies who quickly responded to keep the fire away from homes and critical infrastructure.

Lane County Sheriff’s deputies and Oregon State Police also assisted firefighters yesterday with thermal drone imagery to view fire activity through the smoke.

Residents are still encouraged to sign up for emergency alerts at www.LaneAlerts.org.
