Overview
- A fast-moving blaze known as the Adams Fire burned roughly 45 acres along ridgelines and threatened homes, prompting precautionary evacuation orders for about 250 residences.
- Multiple local fire agencies responded to the fire and crews suppressed the flames, allowing officials to lift all evacuations the same day so residents could return.
- Officials reported limited property damage, including one home and one trailer, and two people suffered burns; a sheriff’s deputy was treated and released while the civilian’s condition was not reported.
- Evacuees were sheltered at the Washington Terrace senior center, where community members provided water and supplies as local officials coordinated aid and damage checks.
- Local leaders urged residents to follow evacuation orders and warned that fires can move rapidly up ridge lines, so crews remain on scene to assess damage and monitor for flare-ups.
