Released by: Sgt. Nathan Garibay, Emergency Services Manager
Due to increased fire behavior and expected growth on the Nash Fire located on the Willamette National Forest northwest of Cascades Lake Hwy, the Deschutes County Sheriff's Office is issuing the following notices.
Level 2 (Set) Evacuation Notice for the following areas:
Areas surrounding Elk Lake and Hosmer Lake including: Elk Lake Resort, Elk Lake CG, Point CG, Little Fawn CG, Mallard Marsh CG, Sunset View Day Use Area, Beach Day Use Area, and Quinn Meadows Horse Camp.
Level 2: Means "GET SET" to evacuate. You must prepare to leave at a moment's notice. This level indicates there is significant danger to your area, and residents should either voluntary relocate to a shelter or with family and friends outside of the affected area, or if choosing to remain, to be ready to evacuate at a moment's notice. Residents MAY have time to gather necessary items, but doing so is at their own risk. This may be the only notice you receive. Emergency services cannot guarantee that they will be able to notify you if conditions rapidly deteriorate. Area media services will be asked to broadcast periodic updates.
Level 1 (Ready) for the following areas:
Areas surrounding Lava Lake including:
Areas surrounding Lava Lake and Little Lava Lake including: Lave Lake Resort, Lave Lake CG, and Little Lava Lake CG
Level 1: Means "BE READY" for potential evacuation. Residents should be aware of the danger that exists in their area, monitor emergency services websites and local media outlets for information. This is the time for preparation and precautionary movements of persons with special needs, mobile property and (under certain circumstances) pets and livestock. If conditions worsen, emergency services personnel may contact you via an emergency notification system.

The Sheriff's Office will continue to coordinate with the United States Forest Service and the incident management team assigned to the fire.

Briefly, it is looking like the Nash fire is 2,250 acres and they are anticipating another day of active fire behavior based on weather conditions.
Where can we donate supplies for those who have had to evacuate, and for the firefighters?
ReplyDeleteThe best place for donations would be to the Red Cross. They set up evacuation centers whenever the need arises. Luckily we have no Level 3 (GO NOW) evacuations currently in place on the Deschutes National Forest.
DeleteFirefighters are self contained when they're on a fire so their needs are met. If you are interested, check out Wildland Firefighter Foundation. They support the families of injured or fallen firefighters and every firefighter knows, values and supports that organization.
Thanks for asking!
Is there somewhere we can donate supplies to the firefighters, and those who have had to evacuate?
