Glen Ellen open — sort of

After 14 days of barring any access, Sonoma County Sheriff’s Office today lifted evacuation orders in portions of  Glen Ellen community within the burn zone — for residents and property owners only.

Evacuation orders have been lifted for the following streets:

• Dunbar Road • Henno Road • Sylvia Road and associated side streets

• Trinity Road, south of Hwy 12 (Trinity Road north of Hwy 12 is closed)

• Warm Springs Road • O’Donnell Lane

• London Ranch Road • Chauvet Road and associated side streets • Hill Road

If you live in these areas, you can return home now via Arnold Drive only.

A kit that includes personal protective gear and information about how to mitigate health and safety hazards on your property will be available at checkpoints on Arnold Drive. In an effort to safeguard your property, there will be a mandatory curfew in these areas from 6:30 p.m. to 8 a.m. All residents are required to exit these areas overnight, but may return in the morning at 8 a.m. Please remember that portions of Glen Ellen that were not affected by the fire (not within the burn zone) are still open. Arnold Drive is open to through traffic.

PG&E and utilities crews are still in the areas hard at work. Please drive slow, pay attention to traffic controls and please use patience.
