The Shenandoah County Sheriff’s Office is requesting residents in Strasburg and within a five-mile radius of Indian Run Lane and Coal Mine Road to evacuate due to fire risks, with Signal Knob Middle School serving as a temporary shelter. Pets are allowed on the property but not indoors, and residents are advised to only travel if necessary due to downed powerlines and trees. Page County Emergency Communications Center is also issuing evacuations for specific areas and directing residents to Luray High School.
