BAKER COUNTY – The Baker County Sheriff’s Office is reminding everyone that with drought conditions in effect and lightning storms in the forecast it is important to be prepared in the event of a wildfire. 

The Sheriff’s Office used the statewide ‘Be Ready, Be Set, Go’ model for things such as evacuations.  

Whenever possible, deputies will make evacuation notices in person, however the Sheriff’s Offiice encourages all Baker County residents to sign up for the countywide emergency notification system, AlertSense.
