After consultation with fire management personnel and the continued increasing stability of the incident; Delta County Sheriff Mark Taylor has lifted the pre-evacuation status for all residents on Redlands Mesa and upper Leroux Creek effective 7:00 pm, July 30th with the exception of homes/cabins that are located north of or within the active fire perimeter on Currant Creek Road.

Homes/structures located within the fire perimeter remain under evacuation notice due to their proximity to the fire. Fire managers were able to confirm this evening that none of these structures have been damaged by the fire. Three homes and five residents have been evacuated since Saturday afternoon due to the fire being in close proximity to their homes on Currant Creek. The American Red Cross and Delta County Human Services have been working with these displaced residents to ensure they have temporary housing, food, and supplies including food and shelter for their displaced pets.  Fire crews have been actively engaged in structure protection the past two days to ensure these affected homes are protected against fire embers.
