Incident: Mustang Complex Wildfire
Released: 9/12/2012
Fire Information: 208-865-2207 E-mail: scnf.fire.info@gmail.com FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - LEMHI COUNTY SHERIFF ADJUSTS EVACUATION LEVEL FOR INDIAN CREEK The Lemhi County Sheriff has revised the evacuation level for Indian Creek from an Evacuation Level 3 to an Evacuation Level 2. This action is due to recent successful fire operations in the area and a favorable extended weather forecast. At this lower level, evacuated residents may return to their homes; however, an elevated degree of vigilance should be maintained in the event that conditions change. At Evacuation Level 2, conditions indicate a good probability that hazards associated with wildfire will severely limit the county's ability to provide emergency service protection. This is a situation where dangerous conditions exist that may threaten residents and/or residences. Residents must be fully prepared to leave at a moment's notice. This may be the only notice residents receive - every attempt will be made to notify residents and businesses as conditions change. All other evacuation levels along the Highway 93 corridor and Sage Creek remain unchanged. For more information on evacuation preparation, please visit http://www.wildlandfirersg.org/. Additional evacuation preparation tips can be found in a September 4 th Mustang Complex news release posted on Inciweb.
