September 3, 2021 -  Dixie Fire Updates to Evacuation Orders, Warnings, and Road Information for Friday, September 3, 2021.

The evacuation order for the community of Greenville has been lifted. Residents may return to the area. The attached press release outlines valuable and important information regarding the return.

The mandatory evacuation order for the following area have been lifted:

• [PLU Zone 014] Greenville area including Wolf Creek Rd, Hideaway Rd, Round Valley Rd, Williams Valley Rd and south to Stampfli Ln including Pioneer Rd and Forgay Rd.

These areas were deemed safe from active fire and hazard trees, though residents should stay alert of changing conditions.

Remember the fire is still active within the burned area and you may see spots of smoke. Fire personnel will still be actively working the interior and edges of the fire. Expect to see hotspots for some time. Do not call 911 to report unless there is an immediate threat to life or property.

Be vigilant to weather and wind conditions and take any future orders seriously, should they change.

Just because the flames are out doesn’t mean the danger is over. Damaged trees/terrain and flash flooding are just some of the dangers that exist after a wildfire. DO NOT put yourself or your loved ones in danger by exploring.

While returning home and while fire personnel remain in the area use caution, reduce your speed, drive with your headlights on and yield to emergency personnel.

Though the area is deemed accessible, critical infrastructure has been severely interrupted. Please pay close attention to the following:

• Power has been restored
• No internet or landline phone service (this may affect your ability to call 911!)
• Cell towers should be fully functional

Residents with unaffected structures may inhabit them.

Anyone accessing burned properties should use extreme caution and are highly discouraged from disturbing ash or burned debris.

The hazard and warning notices are provided for review and action on the county website under “Returning Home”:
○ Danger - Hazardous Area - Enter at Your Own Risk
○ Advisory Against Disturbing Burn Ash on Destroyed Property
○ Health and Safety Precautions for Re-Entry and Debris Removal After Fire

“Phase I” clearances of Household Hazardous Wastes (HHW) are not complete for many properties. Please refer to the CA Department of Toxic Substances Control (DTSC) website to determine which properties are cleared HHW. https://dtsc.maps.arcgis.com...Dixie
