Holiday Farm Fire update for Sept. 17, 2020, 3:04 p.m. – Temporary suspension of activity due to weather

September 17, 2020

Update for Sept. 17, 2020, 3:04 p.m.

Due to forecasted hazardous weather conditions including rain, wind, potential lightning and hail, we will be suspending operations for all utility companies and non-essential people from entering the level 3 evacuation area and all areas within the fire footprint starting at 1800 tonight 9/17 through 9/18 at 1800.  Depending on weather conditions the suspension of activity may be extended in 24-hour increments.

Incident Commanders are concerned about fire weakened trees and rocks falling into the roadway or areas personnel are working. Homeowners who have chosen not to evacuate are directed to remain at home or evacuate during this weather event and not travel the road system within the fire perimeter.  Previously issued road access permits may be temporarily suspended and access denied during these periods.

No utility crews except those directly related to the Highway 126 snagging operation or Leaburg dam operations will be allowed in the fire areas during this time.

We will continue to reevaluate to determine access for the following 24 hours by 1800 each evening thereafter.

The weather may also dictate the number of fire resources assigned to the fire during this weather event.
