While every effort is being made to provide timely updates on evacuation levels and fire behavior, local terrain presents significant communication and access challenges.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Due to the remote nature of these affected areas, residents must remain extremely vigilant and proactively monitor surrounding fire activity. Fire conditions can change rapidly and unpredictably. Do not wait for an official evacuation order if you feel unsafe or see immediate danger.<\/p>\n<p>The following evacuation levels are now in effect:<\/p>\n<p>LEVEL 1 (BE READY)<\/p>\n<p>Evacuation Zones:<\/p>\n<p>UMC-151-I<br \/>UMC-151-E<\/p>\n<p>UMC-123-D<br \/>UMC-1406020<br \/>UMC-215-F<br \/>UMC-215-C<br \/>UMC-213-D<br \/>UMC-213-E<br \/>UMC-147-B<\/p>\n<p>LEVEL 1 includes a section west of the intersection of Abel Lane and Wildhorse Road.<\/p>\n<p>An area east of the intersection of McIntyre Road and Forest Service 32, including Langdon Lake.
