UPDATE: Evacuation notice canceled for fire burning near Quincy

UPDATE: All evacuation notices have been canceled.

The Grant County Sheriff’s Office has issued a level one evacuation notice for a fire burning southwest of Quincy in the Ancient Lakes area.

As of early Monday morning, the fire had burned 500 acres and was being fed by high winds.

GCSO says the fire is burning near Road R access, off of Road 3 Northwest, and is moving south.

A level one evacuation notice means there is no immediate danger to homes or businesses, but the fire may be heading toward the area under notice.
