The latest storm system to blow through the region did not force any evacuations in the Escalon area, though there were some anxious moments a handful of miles to the west, in Manteca, with some evacuations there late Monday night, Feb. 20. “Those evacuations were scaled back Tuesday morning,” said Escalon Fire Chief Rick Mello, attending a county emergency services briefing in Stockton. For local police, fire and City of Escalon Public Works crews, Friday, Feb. 17 was the busiest day of the last several, with multiple incidents reported.
