The Evacuation Order for the Shelter Cove/Westside Road fire remains in effect overnight for approximately 70 homes along Westside Road.

Properties affected by the Order include those along Westside Road from Denison Road north to La Casa Resort (but not including La Casa), as well as the following roads: Denison Road, Shelter Cove Road and Deighton Road. This address range has been adjusted to correspond to the map and Declaration of Local Emergency and to correct a previous oversight in addresses that are impacted by the Evacuation.
