Residents returning home are asked to use the following routes:
- Arriving from the west: travel east on Highway 620
- Arriving from the north: travel south on Highway 22
- Arriving from the east: travel west on Highway 39
- Arriving from the south: travel north using Highway 22
The county says the Buck Creek fire is still impacting fires in the “red zone” and remains under evacuation.
Officials say work will continue to fight the fire for the rest of the week and over the long weekend.
