LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – The Lake County Sheriff's Office on Wednesday afternoon issued an evacuation advisory notice for the Lake Pillsbury Basin area due to fire activity in nearby Mendocino County.
Lt. Corey Paulich said this advisory was issued due to fire activity related to the Mendocino County Complex burning in Redwood and Potter valleys.
Paulich said residents should only use Elk Mountain Road while leaving the area.
Communication in the Pillsbury Basin is limited and the sheriff’s office is asking residents if they have contact with anyone in that area to please pass this information on to them, Paulich said.
Do not go to the area to deliver this information. Paulich said the sheriff's office will be sending personnel to the area to make the notifications.
An evacuation advisory is not a mandatory evacuation, but it is strongly recommended, Paulich said.
Residents are advised to gather their medications, pets and important papers. Paulich said residents should be prepared to leave the area with little notice.
If the situation worsens the sheriff’s office will issue a mandatory evacuation notice, Paulich said.
Anyone who is evacuating and in need of shelter can go to the evacuation shelter at the Seventh-day Adventist Church located at 1111 Park Way in Lakeport.
