LAKEPORT, Calif. – The city of Lakeport has temporarily postponed its plans for its popular National Night Out event due to the Rocky fire, according to the city's police chief.
The Lakeport Police Department planned to host the third annual block party at its new headquarters at 2025 Main St. on Tuesday.
The Lakeport City Council also had adjourned its meeting so council members could take part.
However, on Saturday Police Chief Brad Rasmussen said the Rocky fire – which by that time had scorched 27,000 acres and displaced more than 12,000 area residents, primarily in the Lower Lake and Clearlake Oaks areas – was causing them to postpone the event.
Rasmussen said that on Monday city staff will discuss a possible date for rescheduling the event.
