Message From Mayor Randy Hall
The Beaver Creek Fire truly tested our grit as a community. As flames crept into the back yards of Wood River Valley residents, we banded together and I was proud to witness great acts of heroism, kindness, selflessness and camaraderie throughout the event by our incident response team, the fire fighters and neighbors opening their doors to those of us displaced from our homes. While these experiences are trying, they serve as a reminder of the exceptional nature of our community and I am looking forward to resuming our spirited lifestyle here in Ketchum.
As safety remains our first priority, I encourage you to continue to monitor fire updates here. Please also check our Facebook page and website for the most recent pre-evacuation and evacuation notices.
Despite the fire, there are still plenty of things to enjoy in and around Ketchum before the kids go back to school and cool weather is once again upon us. I encourage you to safely enjoy all that Ketchum has to offer – whether it’s the newly opened Farnlun Park, the Shakespeare Festival or Wagon Days, I urge you to take advantage of the last weeks of summer in our extraordinary community.
-Mayor Randy Hall
