SAN FRANCISO, CA — Raging fires in the Cobb and Middletown area of the San Francisco postal district have forced the Postal Service to operate under contingency plans due to road closures.

All mail for Cobb Post Office customers will be available at the Kelseyville Post Office, 5500 Gaddy Lane, Kelseyville CA 95451, until further notice. Mail for the Middletown Post Office will be available at the Clearlake Post Office, 14500 Olympic Dr, Clearlake, CA 95422. At this time no other Post Offices are affected due to the fires.

The Lower Lake Post Office and the Kelseyville Post Office are open. Customers who normally get rural delivery from either the Lower Lake Post Office or the Kelseyville Post Office and do not get mail delivered can go to their respective Post Office to get their mail.

Customers picking up their mail must have proper ID, such as a valid driver’s license, or military ID.
