The fire is currently holding at 12,000 acres, but is 0% contained. Priority for today is to construct a fire line around the entire perimeter, then to assess and contain. Thunderstorms are expected again this afternoon which can either help or hinder fire suppression efforts. Please stay out of the area unless you are directly involved with the fire suppression effort.
Phone Are Out!
July 18, 2016 by
UPDATE: Only the following phones are working: GIS, the Register of Deeds, and Dispatch. These offices can ONLY assist you in looking up information with their own office. Internet has been restored to the other offices so you can contact them via email. The latest estimate for being fully operational is tomorrow (Tuesday) at noon.
A lightning strike to the courthouse during yesterday evening’s storm left the courthouse without phone lines. This affects the administrative offices as well as the sheriff’s office. 911 dispatch was not affected by this surge. Golden West is working to restore communication.
