SOUTH LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Officials have released damage inspection information that maps the destruction the Valley fire has left behind in south Lake County's communities.
The county of Lake, in conjunction with Cal Fire, made the information available at the Lake County Assistance Center Web site, www.lakecountylac.com , as of Saturday night.
Along with maps, the county released an initial list of parcels where Cal Fire damage inspection teams have confirmed structures were either destroyed or damaged.
The map above, created by Lake County News using the parcel data the county released, shows several hundred impacted properties in the communities of Cobb Mountain, Hidden Valley Lake, Middletown and the surrounding areas.
“One of our priorities is to release the information as soon as possible and to ensure support services are available for our community,” said County Administrative Officer Matt Perry. “Numerous county and state resources have been working around the clock since the start of the Valley fire to assist those impacted.”
The county said it will update the information as Cal Fire's damage inspection teams continue to survey the fire area and collect and confirm additional data.
“As we anticipate the number of homes destroyed to rise, we are making social and mental health services available for those affected,” said District 5 Supervisor Rob Brown.
