UMTANUM REC Fire FAQ
What do the evacuation zones on the UMTANUM REC Fire map mean?
Evacuation zones are typically color-coded by urgency: Evacuation Order (leave now β immediate danger), Evacuation Warning (be ready to leave at a moment's notice), and Advisory (monitor conditions). Zone boundaries are set by your county sheriff or local fire authority β always follow their instructions over any map. Check the evacuation tab for current zone status.
How current is the UMTANUM REC Fire map and data on this page?
The live map and headline figures (acres, containment) are pulled from the National Interagency Fire Center (NIFC) WFIGS feed, which fire agencies update throughout the day. Perimeter boundaries typically lag the actual fire edge by several hours, and NIFC updates are not continuous β check local fire authority channels for the most time-sensitive information.
