The Fresno County Sheriff’s Office and fire officials working the Garnet Fire have elected to modify zone K27, which was previously in an evacuation order.
K27 has been divided into two zones, K27A and K27B. K27A has been placed into an evacuation warning. This zone includes Courtright and Wishon Reservoirs. K27B will remain in an evacuation order. Although K27A is now in a warning, access to this area is still restricted through K27B. Only those with a proof of residency in K27A will be allowed to pass through K27B, with an escort.
In addition, the Sierra National Forest still has a forest closure in effect. A FS-7700 form will be required to enter the closed portion of the forest. Contact the District Ranger’s Office at (559) 855-5355 to request the FS-7700 form.
