Publication Type: News 09/08/2022
The fire became very active Tuesday afternoon and made a large run up Bend Creek crossing the Magruder Corridor east of Horse Heaven Cabin. The fire continued to move north/east yesterday and is now burning along approximately 2 miles of the Magruder Corridor Road. The fire has burned around Horse Heaven Cabin but structure protection and fire personnel were successful at preventing damage to the site. Today fire personnel are working to cut out/clear debris and assess conditions along the road. The Magruder Corridor Road is now closed between Sabe Saddle and Observation Point CG. Road Guards are in place to stop traffic and provide fire information. Red River RD is aware of the closure and has posted maps/info on the western end of the corridor. Fire personnel will continue to assess fire behavior and hazards along the road to determine when public access might be restored. The fire is currently about 2 miles west of Salmon Base Camp.
