I think they should keep the inn close until the Fire is gone completely, don't they full Fire Cover thing on the inn?? then in few days evacuate people again.

[b]Izaak Walton Inn[/b]Happy Monday everyone! We are excited to report the evacuation has been lifted in Essex as of 6am this morning and the Izaak Walton will be open for business later this afternoon!! The Dining Car Restaurant will re-open on Thursday September 3. Date: 08/31/15 10:59 Re: US Hwy 2 closure, Essex MT evacuation lifted Author: milepost1208 The photo I saw of the Inn that was taken about 2-3 days ago showed no fire protect cover. I believe earlier reports I had about it being covered were wrong and I apologize for that. http://inciweb.nwcg.gov/incident/photograph/4468/5/48360/. They are letting the people return to the area as the weather is predicted to be cooler with higher humidity all week. I personally do not think many people will want to stay at the Inn until late Fall or early Winter when the threat of either a reservation cancellation or sudden evacuation is over. Maybe the owners will offer super discounts to fill cancellations....who knows! --Mary in Whitefish, MT--
