LAKE COUNTY, Calif. — Sheriff Rob Howe has declared a local emergency in response to the Glenhaven fire, which began on Friday.
The fire led to the evacuation of residents, threatened more than 2,000 structures, and resulted in road closures impacting residents and travelers throughout Lake County, the Lake County Sheriff’s Office of Emergency Services, or OES, reported.
OES said that in the early hours of the fire, fire and law enforcement agencies quickly focused on fire suppression, safeguarding life and property, and evacuating residents.
Simultaneously, numerous county departments and local agencies mobilized to support the response to include temporary evacuation points, overnight shelter for evacuees and their pets, transportation out of the evacuation zone, and deployment of additional supportive resources.
OES said it is coordinating these efforts to ensure comprehensive and unified support to the response to the Glenhaven fire.
