At 5 p.m. today, all remaining mandatory evacuations for the Lefthand Canyon Fire will be lifted following a safety briefing for residents by the Lefthand Fire Protection District chief.

Residents of the fifteen to twenty homes that remain under mandatory evacuation along the north side of Lefthand Canyon Drive from Geer Canyon to the three mile marker are asked to check-in with Fire Chief Stoffel at the Lefthand Fire Protection District Station, 900 Lefthand Canyon Drive, at 5 p.m. today for a brief safety advisement before returning home. The briefing is intended to help residents become aware of existing dangers in the fire area and be prepared to spot changes in the fire that may prompt another evacuation.
