Highway 83’s residences, starting from mile marker 27, the southern end of Rovero Flats, to mile marker 25.5 (where the West Fork of the Clearwater Road intersects with Highway 83) have been issued an evacuation warning. Beaver Creek Road, near the summit, is also subject to this warning.
Another evacuation warning echoes for residents on Lake Inez’s northern and southern extremities. However, the residences on the east side of Lake Inez, lining Highway 83, are yet to be under any warning or order.
Evacuation Shelter Prepared
Those who have been evacuated due to the raging Colt Fire and are seeking shelter are urged to contact the Red Cross at (406) 215-1514. The organization has an evacuation shelter prepared in Ovando, ready to welcome evacuees if required.
