As we gain containment on the Boyles Fire, we urge members of our community to remain vigilant in fire safety. National weather service released a weather advisory for Lake County this morning. “Breezy winds and low RH values will create locally critical fire weather conditions for Lake County”. Have a plan, sign up for NIXLE, sign up for GENASYS (formally ZoneHaven). Watch Duty is also a valuable tool in information.
