Residents should start collecting any important papers, such as deeds, birth certificates, insurance papers, family photo albums, etc. Residents should also pack any fire arms, ammunition, jewelery and other valuables to take in the event of a forced evacuation. It would also be wise to take any “bug out” kits residents might have prepared.
The photo above is from a Williams resident who reports the smoke and ash from the fire is thick and getting thicker.
