The Butte County Sheriff’s Office ordered tens of thousands of residents to evacuate a fast-moving wildfire Thursday.
The wildfire, dubbed the Camp Fire, has exploded to 8,000 acres amid hot and windy weather conditions.
The following evacuation centers are open for residents:
Oroville Nazarene Church at 2238 Monte Vista Ave, Oroville, CA 95966
The Butte County Fairgrounds– 199 E Hazel St, Gridley, CA 95948
Animals can be dropped off at these shelters:
Old County Hospital at 2279 Del Oro and Mono, Suite E
Butte County Fairgrounds at 199 E Hazel St, Gridley, CA 95948
Any large animals that can’t be transported to a shelter should be left in open pastures with food and water, authorities say.
It’s critical, the animals are not locked up in a barn or shed in case the fire spreads.
If you are unable to take large animals, leave them in open pastures and leave food out. DO NOT lock them up in a barn. https://t.co/Q7ta5iRn8H— Butte County, CA (@CountyofButte) November 8, 2018
