At approximately 11:00 AM, Monday August 28th, 2017, authorities announced a Chetco Bar Fire Evacuation Re-Entry Plan for the “additional area” to residents and businesses of the South Bank Chetco River.
The announcement stated that all residences and businesses within the current Level 3 Evacuation zone starting at the junction of Shady Lane and South Bank Chetco River Road east to and including Freeman Rock and Salmon Run golf course will be reduced to a Level 2 Evacuation. The area involved also included residents in the Campbell and Harbor Hills road area.
All residents that live in this geographic area are asked to present their picture identification to Curry County Sheriff’s Office staff to receive re-entry materials. Residents can pick up the re-entry materials from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the former Ray’s Market, 906 Chetco Ave. in Brookings, or at the re-entry points on South Bank Chetco River Road. One re-entry point has been established at Shady Lane and South Bank Chetco Road. Residents will be required to present the materials received from the Sheriff’s Office at the established re-entry point.
Residents should remain prepared to evacuate at a moment’s notice in the event the evacuation levels change and residents should not return any large animal’s home at this time.
