FIRE MANAGEMENT PLAN 2008<br />

<strong>Lassen</strong>-<strong>Modoc</strong> <strong>Unit</strong><br />

If you turn right toward Alturas, the road then becomes County Road 77. Continue on to<br />

County Road 54 (Centerville Rd.). Turn right <strong>and</strong> go east to County Road 71 (CalPines Bl.).<br />

Turn right on County Rd. 71 (CalPines Bl.) <strong>and</strong> continue to Diamond “C” Ranch Rd. Turn<br />

right <strong>and</strong> go to Honker Cove Campground (meeting place).<br />

MEETING PLACES:<br />

In any organized evacuation it is necessary that all people be accounted for. After you are<br />

informed <strong>of</strong> the order to evacuate, it is assumed you will depart <strong>and</strong> follow the directions <strong>of</strong><br />

the messenger. Remember that if the order be from the Sheriff, it has the effect <strong>of</strong> law <strong>and</strong><br />

compliance will be expected.<br />

Each route designates a “meeting place”. When arriving at the meeting place you should<br />

“check in” with the person who is keeping an account <strong>of</strong> residents. This person will have a<br />

badge or other identification.<br />

If you need to get to a telephone, you may proceed on your way after “checking in”. There<br />

are public telephones available at Canby, Adin, Alturas, Likely <strong>and</strong> CalPines Lodge.<br />

If you choose a different route or should you decide not to leave, it is possible that no one<br />

will know where you are until after the emergency (usually a fire) has been brought under<br />

control <strong>and</strong> the sheriff has given the okay to return to the hill. An effort will be made to<br />

contact you but this may not be successful. To prevent this type <strong>of</strong> problem we ask for your<br />

cooperation if ordered to evacuate.<br />

The <strong>Fire</strong> Department certainly hopes that implementation <strong>of</strong> this plan will never be necessary,<br />

but we feel that to have such a plan will help everyone to remain calm <strong>and</strong> better able to cope<br />

with the possibility <strong>of</strong> fire danger or other problems.<br />
