Cameron Peak Fire Rumor Control
Here are some of the rumors we've heard are circulating about the Cameron Peak Fire evacuation areas.
All answers are dependent on current fire activity, firefighting activity, and evacuation status.
If you live in or own property in a voluntary evacuation area, you will be granted access as long as it is safe at that time. You'll need to show proof that you belong there (Larimer County issued credential, driver's license, utility bill, etc.). If you live in or own property in a mandatory evacuation area, the same may apply but access may be more limited based on fire activity. Those decisions will be made at the time you reach the roadblock.
You can evacuate to the north using County Road 67J.
A credential issued by Larimer County Office of Emergency Management will speed things up, but it is not required as long as you can provide proof you belong there and it is safe for you to enter.
We are trying to make sure only the people who belong in evacuation areas are entering. If you have someone coming to help you and they do not have proof of residency/ownership, they will be denied access. You can coordinate with your friend/family member and meet them outside the roadblock. Then have them follow you to the roadblock, show your proof of residency/ownership, and explain that the friend/relative is there to help you evacuate. It should be fine if they gain access with you.
