Some local CERT (Community Emergency Repsonse Team) trained representatives from Copperopolis have been called out to head to the Sonora fairgrounds to help set up an emergency evacuation shelter for those being evacuated from the Groveland area fire.
The emergency shelter is anticipating up to 450 people.
The CERT team is a team trained by the Red Cross to prepare and respond to emergency situations within their community and surrounding communities.
Thank you Copper CERT team for your help and your service to your community and our neighboring communities.
