The Level 1 evacuation alert for Cooper Landing will be removed, beginning Tuesday at 12:01 a.m., a release from the Kenai Peninsula Borough Office of Emergency Management said.
The Northern Rockies Team 4 team managing the Swan Lake Fire, in coordination with the Kenai Peninsula Borough Office of Emergency Management, removed the alert level.
The alert was removed because of the hard work of fire crews, continuing weather pattern of rain and cooler temperatures, according to the release.
Residents in Cooper Landing are asked to remain vigilant, aware and prepared until a fire-season ending weather transition occurs.
“Fire managers suggest several inches of rain across all areas of the Swan Lake Fire are needed before the fire will be identified as controlled,” the release said.
Swan Lake Fire information and safety topics will be available on the Kenai Peninsula Borough Office of Emergency Management website, www.kpboem.com, and on Facebook, at KPBalerts. Residents can sign up for the phone notification system by texting KPB to 99411, and following the prompts to register using your borough physical address. The Office of Emergency Management continues to staff an information line Monday through Friday from 8 a.m.-5p.m. at 907-262-4636 (262-INFO).
