***Update/Partial Evacuation Warning Area Lifted***
The Amador County evacuation warning area west of Hwy 88 at Omo Ranch Rd to the intersection of Hwy 88 and Tiger Creek Rd has been lifted. This area stretches west to include the Amador Pines, Volcano, Fiddletown and River Pines communities. Refer to the green outlined area of the attached map (Bottom Left).
Additionally, the road closure at Highway 88 and Dew Drop Rd has been moved east to Highway 88 and Peddler Hill. This will allow residents into the area of Bear River Reservoir to remove property if necessary.
A CodeRED notification will follow. All evacuation warning/order areas to the east remain in effect.
Where can I find an update on the ariola fire?
