The temporary fire-related forest closure around the Burnt Creek Fire in the Wallowa-Whitman National Forest has been updated. The closure remains in place to protect public safety and to give firefighters the space they need to safely carry out suppression operations.
The county asks the public to respect closure signage and to avoid entering restricted zones. Before heading to the area for recreation, camping, or travel, verify current forest closures and fire conditions.
