Two residences on County Road 510 have been evacuated due to the Ridge Fire, which is burning approximately 10 miles northwest of Marquette between County Road 510 and North Basin Drive. Marquette County Sheriff’s Office has established an evacuation center at Negaunee Township Hall at 42 East State Hwy M-35 in Negaunee. The Red Cross will be assisting evacuees and their pets at this location. Officials have initiated the “Ready, Set, Go!” protocol for residents located along North Basin Drive. The current status is at “Ready”, which means residents in this area are encouraged to do the following:

✅ Remove dry brush and debris within 30 to 100 feet of your home so firefighters can protect it

✅ Plan an evacuation route

✅ Pack an emergency bag including medications, important documents, and pet supplies

✅ Monitor information from the DNR and Marquette County Sheriff’s Office on social media and local news

Additional updates will be provided if the fire progresses to the point that triggers the “Set” status.
