July 21, 2018 - Sierra National Forest Officials issue Forest Order 05-15-51-18-13 Ferguson Fire Closure. The purpose of this closure is to provide safety to the public and for the firefighters who are engaged in fire suppression and rehabilitation efforts within the Ferguson Fire Closure Area, as shown on Exhibits A and B.

Closure of the fire area is necessary to help ensure that no one is injured within or near the active fire perimeter.

All National Forest System roads and trails, within closure area will be closed due to fire suppression and rehabilitation activities that create a hazard to the public which includes the use of heavy equipment, the falling of hazard trees that were weakened by the fire and the construction, rehabilitation, and maintenance of fuel breaks. This closure will remain in effect until the fire is declared out.
