The Bolt Creek Fire along Highway 2 demonstrates the importance of receiving accurate information. While deputies went house to house to inform homeowners of the Level 3 (Go now) conditions, having a notice sent to your phone or computer can ensure that you can promptly leave an area that has become dangerous. And alerts from local government agencies allow you to be informed about latest developments and allow you to know when it is safe to return to your home if you have had to evacuate.
