A Level One evacuation order has been sent to homeowners in Beaver Brook Lodge Estates area. This means be ready to go if necessary.

Level 1: Be Ready

There is an incident in the area. Residents are advised of the level 1 evacuation and are asked to leave if they need additional time to exit an area or have health conditions (especially respiratory conditions that could be made worse by smoke). Residents are encouraged to move livestock and pets out of the area, and to prepare for a full evacuation. Evacuations are voluntary, but residents are encouraged to leave if concerned. There will be no road closures in effect in most cases.

This is when you are thankful you took appropriate planning actions, long before the threat of a wildland fire.

You’ve already created defensible space by clearing brush and other fuels away from your home.
You’ve used fire-resistant landscaping and hardened your home with fire-safe construction measures.
You assembled emergency supplies and belongings in a safe spot.
You planned escape routes and made sure all those residing within your home know the plan of action.
