Residents who live north of Ina Road between Alvernon Way and 1st Avenue are now in the "SET" stage of evacuations, PCSD announced Wednesday night. Under this stage, residents should be ready to go at a moment's notice, as authorities may not be able to immediately communicate evacuation orders as fire conditions rapidly deteoriate.
