Emergency Proclamation
Dixie Fire
August 3, 2021
The majority of the Dixie Fire is burning in Plumas County; however there
are portions of Butte County that have been impacted, and continue to be
threatened.
Heavy Equipment responding to the Dixie Fire continues to travel to and
from the fire area, and Butte County personnel have not had the ability to
assess possible damage to roadways.
The CAO signed an Emergency Proclamation on August 3.
The Emergency Proclamation regarding the Dixie Fire will be on the Board’s
August 10 agenda for ratification.
By issuing an Emergency Proclamation, we are taking proactive steps to
ensure regulations that may hinder response and recovery efforts are
waived.
The Emergency Proclamation will also provide access to financial assistance
opportunities for reimbursement of costs associated to response and
recovery.
