2/2
Please avoid all nonessential movement, as fire activity remains unpredictable and crews need clear access to operate safely.
Reentry for residents will require verification of residency or property ownership at the closure points on Colorado River Road. Federal Law Enforcement and Sheriff’s Office personnel will facilitate this process and issue authorized passes accordingly.
Firefighting and structure protection efforts are actively underway, and residents traveling to and from their properties should be aware that fuel reduction and defensible space work may result in noticeable changes to the landscape. Please do not move or drive over any firefighting or water-handling equipment, as crews may need to use it quickly if fire conditions shift. Always yield to fire personnel and vehicles, and know that teams are working diligently to restore full access and help residents return to their homes permanently.
If you hold a permit issued by the Forest Service or Bureau of Land Management, please coordinate directly with the issuing agency to arrange access to the restricted area.
“Thank you for your cooperation. It will allow us to provide this limited access for evacuated residents and still ensure safety for you and firefighting personnel, “ Sheriff Van Beek said.
