Sen. Bill Dodd: Wildfire Safety and Evacuation Update

Dear Friends,

Firefighters are currently responding to the continued threat of the LNU Lightning Complex fires, which have already burned more than 219,000 acres. Given the speed of  developments, it is important that we all keep a close eye on news related to road closures, evacuations, and shelters locations, for the safety of our family, friends and neighbors.

Please visit the Cal Fire website for the most up-to-date. If the website is down, live updates are also available on both Cal Fire LNU Twitter and Facebook accounts.
