The alert applies only to residents on West Henefer Road and East Canyon Road. Anyone else who received it can dismiss it. “There are no pre-evacuation or evacuation notices for South Summit Fire District,” the South Summit Fire District said, noting Summit County sent the alert by mistake. Park City residents also received the erroneous notification. There are no evacuation orders or advisories for Park City.
