The Valley County Sheriff’s Office has issued evacuation orders for residents in the God’s Acres and French Creek due to the Four Corners Fire near Lake Cascade.
Officials say activity from the 4,100-acre Four Corners Fire increased Thursday afternoon as hot and dry conditions continue to impact the region.
Along with the evacuation order for residents in the God’s Acres and French Creek area, a pre-evacuation alert has been given to folks in the Campbell Creek area.
The cause of the fire is yet to be determined but it is likely a lightning holdover from the Aug. 11 thunderstorms.
