The Wildland Incident Management Team has recommended reducing the Level 3 "evacuate now" order for the Poorman zone to Level 2 "be ready."
The other zones in Twisp River remain Level 3 "Evacuate Now" due to the limited egress for up canyon residents while firefighters are working around the fire on the 4410 Road.
Please remain clear of these zones to avoid impeding fire traffic.
