Incident: Santiago
Released: 10/28/2007
The Santiago Incident Unified Command has established an assessment team to determine when residents of the Santiago Fire area may return to their homes. This assessment will begin Sunday, 10/28/07, and will continue through, at least, the peak burning period and into the evening. The decision to allow residents to return to their homes will be contingent upon the anticipated fire threat, and weather predictions , to the affected areas. The Santiago Incident Unified Command will then implement a plan to allow residents to return to their homes.
Modjeska, Live Oak, Trabuco and Silverado Canyons may be reopened at different times based upon conditions within each respective canyon. Only residents will be allowed to return to the evacuated areas; road blocks will still be maintained by local law enforcement. The returning residents will be asked to stay on their properties, and to not enter other affected areas to include Cleveland National Forest land, which is still closed.
