First of all. All employees and guests of Diamond Lake Resort are accounted for and left safely. The fate of our houses and the resort will be known in the morning.
If you have reservations today or this week watch this page for information. At this time nobody is at the resort to answer phones.
WHAT HAPPENED?
We reported a small smoke north west of Mt. Thielsen Tuesday morning. By Tuesday late afternoon the fire was producing a large column of smoke. At dusk the fire was fanned by high winds and gusts. We were told at that time if the fire comes over the ridge we need to evacuate the area. The Forest Service told us there were no resources to help us.
At about 11 pm it was obvious that the fire was over the ridge and heading down towards Hwy 138. At this time we started Evacuating employees and guests from the lodge area and the RV Park. At about 2:30 am we had everyone out. At the same time the Douglas County Sheriff and Forest Service evacuated the campgrounds. About that time is when the fire jumped Hwy 138 at mile post 78.
As I write this a large group of employees are with me at the junction of Hwy 138 and Hwy 97. Not knowing what we will come back to.
