The southern edge of the Lee Fire has reached the Garfield County line, prompting the above changes to evacuation status.

As a reminder:

GO = Evacuate immediately from your area. Leave now – danger in your area.

SET = Short notice evacuation likely in your area. Prepare for sudden evacuations. Leave now if you need extra time.

READY = Possible evacuation in your area. Prepare, monitor, and pack your valuables.
