Rogue River Fire EVACUATIONS The storm system moving through Jackson County this afternoon had a direct impact on the Rogue River Drive Fire, near Shady Cove. Weather conditions aided the fire to gain momentum and cross containment lines. There is now a LEVEL 1 evacuation for all residents on Rogue River Drive, from the 3,000 block until the intersection with Rhodes Lane. The Level 1 evacuation will also include all residents on Kitty Drive and Osprey Drive. LEVEL 1: A Level 1 Evacuation means “BE READY” for potential evacuation. Residents should be aware of the danger that exists in their area, monitor emergency services websites and local media outlets for information. This is the time for preparation and precautionary movement of persons with special needs, mobile property and (under certain circumstances) pets and livestock. If conditions worsen, emergency services personnel may contact you via an emergency notification system. The increased fire activity has also threatened homes on Dry Creek Road. There is now a LEVEL 3 evacuation for all residents living on Dry Creek Road. LEVEL 3: A Level 3 Evacuation means “GO” Evacuate NOW LEAVE IMMEDIATELY! Danger to your area is current or imminent, and you should evacuate immediately. If you choose to ignore this advisement, you must understand that emergency services may not be available to assist you further. DO NOT delay leaving to gather any belongings or make efforts to protect your home.
