Good Evening Tahoe Forest, 

This afternoon a wildfire (Pass Fire) started in close proximity to the main hospital campus. Evacuation warnings were issued. Incident command was setup. We directed the closure of Retail Pharmacy and Urgent Care as they are on the north side of Donner pass road, we prepared the ECC residents to evacuate in the case the fire was to become worse, accounted for all patients and worked with external agencies in the case transportation was necessary. 

The fire has been contained per Truckee Fire. Incident Command has been ceased at 1730.

All staff did a wonderful job! Thank you to all of the firemen and women for keeping our community and hospital safe! 

All operations will open as normal tomorrow. 

Have a nice evening, 

Louis J. Ward, MHA
Interim Chief Executive Officer / Administrator IVCH
