Rifle residents in the Gemat Court neighborhood and north between Highway 6 and Green Lane, Mile Pond Road and Peterson Lane are being evacuated due to a structure and wildfire, Fire Rescue Chief Colorado River, Leif Sackett.
A reverse 911 call should go out to area residents, but those living in the area should evacuate immediately.
“With the wind, I don’t know what caused it and I don’t know what kind of handle we have right now,” Sackett said. “But with the wind the way it is, we’re doing these evacuations.”
All people and small animals should go somewhere outside this immediate area and wait for further instructions.
This is a developing story.
