Effective at noon Thursday, October 10, the existing Level 3 (GO) evacuation alert is reduced, and access continues to be restricted to the following trails and road systems, as well as all areas in Level 3 reflected on the Linn County Fire Map https://tinyurl.com/LinnCoFireMap: 

• FSR 2253 after the junction with Minto Road (FSR 2253-125) (main fire access)
• FSR 2255 (due to road brushing/prep)
• Bingham Ridge Trail #3421
• Lake of the Woods Trail #3493
• Marion Lake Trail #3436
• Independence Rock Trail

The areas being reduced from the existing Level 3 evacuation alert are reduced to a Level 2 (GET SET) evacuation alert. All existing Level 2 evacuation areas remain in place. 

Sheriffs around the State of Oregon are tasked with ensuring the safety of the public and are responsible for enacting and enforcing any evacuation levels when emergencies or other threats present the need. These evacuation alert decisions are made in coordination with emergency management teams, partner law enforcement and fire agencies, and public stakeholder input. Additionally, closures to the forest and wilderness area are enacted by the Oregon Department of Forestry and/or the National Forest Service, when circumstances and conditions necessitate a closure to a forest area.

Please refer to the Linn County Fire Map for full details of the issued evacuation area (which will appear in red).
