West Fire, Butte Lightning Complex - Evacuations

Butte County Fire complex- 6-26 2000hrs - Precautionary Evacuation Advisory - The Butte County Sheriff’s Office has issued an “Precautionary Evacuation Advisory” for the North and South Coutolenc zones which encompass Coutolenc Rd. from Skyway to Hupp-Coutolenc Rd. and all cross streets.

The West Fire has moved south of Bean Soup Bar but is still on the east side of the West Branch of the Feather River drainage and poses a threat to the Coutolenc road area. If the fire crosses the drainage, the Precautionary Evacuation Advisory may be upgraded to an “Immediate Threat Evacuation Advisory”. Residents are advised to prepare their home, animals, and family members and evacuate.
Large animals should be moved during the precautionary evacuation to prevent delays during an immediate threat evacuation. Communicate with neighbors to ensure everyone has the Advisory information.
