LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – The Rocky fire is continuing to grow and its movement southwest towards Lower Lake and the east side of Clearlake has prompted a new evacuation advisory.
The Lake County Sheriff’s Office and the Clearlake Police Department have issued the advisory for the possible evacuation for all areas east of Highway 53 from Riata Road south of Lower Lake north to Highway 20, including Ogulin Canyon.
An evacuation advisory is not a mandatory evacuation, but it is strongly recommended, officials said.
Residents are advised to gather their medications, pets and important papers.
Residents should be prepared to leave the area with little notice.
If residents are evacuated they may seek shelter at the Middletown High School, 20932 Big Canyon Road, or the Kelseyville High School, 5480 Main St.
The Lake County Office of Emergency Services has an information line set up at 707-263-2360 and is posting updates on the Lake County OES Facebook page.
