Current Situation: The fire continues to burn in heavy timber. Firefighters are challenged by steep, rugged terrain with difficult access. Unsettled weather continues in the area, making fire behavior predictions uncertain. The southern and eastern boundaries of the fire continue to be most threatened by extreme fire behavior. Drift smoke from the fire has been settling in the Ukiah Valley and could affect those sensitive to smoke.
An Evacuation Order is still in effect for the area around the eastern boundary of the Lodge Fire in the following areas: Camp Seabow, Elder Place, Tan Oak Park, Bald Mountain Ranch, Mad Creek, Elk Creek east of Brush Mountain. We will continue to evaluate the need for the evacuation order as the incident progresses.
An evacuation shelter has been set up by the American Red Cross at the Leggett School, 1 School Way.
