SOBERANES FIRE: EVACUATION WARNING EXPANDED

SOBERANES FIRE: EVACUATION WARNING EXPANDED

An evacuation WARNING along the east side of the Soberanes Fire has been expanded to include an area along Arroyo Seco effective 6 p.m. on Saturday, September 10, 2016.

The new evacuation Warning applies to all residents southwest of East Carmel Valley Road starting at the intersection of East Carmel Valley Road and Piney Creek Road extending East to Arroyo Seco Road. It also applies to all residents along Arroyo Seco Road starting from East Carmel Valley Road extending west past the Arroyo Seco Campground.

An evacuation Warning is a precautionary notice that an evacuation Order may become necessary if the threat increases. The new Warning is due to the potential for the fire to spread toward these areas.

All residents under a Warning should prepare to leave the area. Be sure to take any medications, pets, important documents, and family valuables if asked to leave. Close all windows and doors before leaving.

(NOTE From BSK: I saw some impressive plume photos taken from the Zen Center earlier today that show new wildfire activity that appear to be somewhere in the Willow Creek drainage, per Steve Harper – the one on the east side of LPNF, not the Willow Creek down on the South Coast.)
