Description

Level 3 “Go Now!” evacuation orders have been issued for a small area in northern Clark County, Washington.

The Hidden Meadows Fire ignited Monday in a rural, unincorporated community north of Battle Ground.

The fire is burning west of State Route 503 between Hidden Meadows Drive and Mountain View Drive.

As of 1:30 p.m., both sides of 127th Avenue, to the west, are in the Level 3 evacuation zone. Officials have also issued Level 1 and 2 evacuation notices for nearby areas.

A temporary shelter has been set up at the Old Apostolic Lutheran Church on Rock Creek Road and 503.

The Washington State Department of Transportation has closed State Route 503 in both directions between Northeast Gabriel Road and Northeast 365th Street.

Effective Immediately, all Tualatin residents and businesses should reduce all non-essential water use for the next 24-48 hours. The City is currently working to repair a leak in one of our large water lines, which has been shut down. We are relying on water within our reservoirs to supply the City’s water demand while the repair is being made. The best way to reduce water use is to temporarily stop all outdoor water use and reduce indoor water use as much as possible: • Do not water lawns and gardens. If you have plants that will not survive a brief period without water, use water sparingly and only in the evening or early morning when evaporation is at its lowest. • Do not wash or wet down sidewalks, walkways, driveways, parking lots, open ground, or other hard surface areas. • Do not wash trucks, cars, trailers, or other vehicles except at commercial establishments which recycle or reuse the water in their washing processes. • Do not pressure wash. • Do not use water to fill any indoor or outdoor swimming pools or hot tubs. • Do not fill or clean decorative water features. • Take shorter showers. Cutting five minutes off your shower will save 12 gallons of water. • Run clothes and dishwashers with full loads or postpone washing until water supplies return to normal. • Turn off water when brushing teeth, shaving, or shampooing. Running a faucet can use two gallons per minute.
