Sheriff to Downgrade Evacuation Orders October 12, 2021

KNP Complex
Publication Type: Announcement 10/12/2021


Sheriff to Downgrade Evacuation Orders for Some Areas Impacted by KNP Complex Fire

Sheriff Boudreaux will downgrade the Evacuation Order to Evacuation Warning for the mountain communities of Big Meadows, Weston Meadows, and Quail Flat. 

At this time, only permitted cabin owners are allowed into these communities. Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks will remain closed and only fire personnel are allowed inside the park.

Due to the current closure of the Generals Highway, please access these areas via Burton Pass. US Forest Service will be Patrolling these areas.

Residents living in these areas may return to their homes after showing proof of residence to law enforcement officers. Proper documentation must include the person’s name and address within the impacted area. Examples include a driver’s license, utility bill or address documentation from the U.S. Post Office for people who use a post office box.

Evacuation warnings are voluntary. Community members are strongly encouraged to prepare to evacuate if it becomes necessary. If individuals feel they need more time, please consider leaving the area now.

If you have any questions, please contact the USFS Office 559-338-2251 or refer to https://tularecounty.ca.gov/emergencies/ KNP Complex Evacuation Area Map for more information.
