Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest Further Reduces Emergency Closure for the Davis Fire 09-19-2024
Davis Fire
Publication Type: Closures - 09/19/2024 - 18:00
Effective immediately, the USDA Forest Service has further decreased the emergency area closure order on the Davis Fire. Any National Forest System lands within the fire footprint will remain closed. This includes Forest Service roads 41040, 41041, and 41727, as well as the Ophir Creek Trail. Additionally, Washoe County Parks and Recreation has closed the Browns Trail.
“I am happy we were able to quickly reopen most of the Forest Service roads, trails, and developed sites in the Mt. Rose Highway corridor as quickly as we did,” said Carson District Ranger Matt Zumstein. “This would not have been possible without the dedication of the fire crews who fought the fire and who have been implementing the suppression repair.”
Zumstein also wants to remind the public that the emergency fire closure is in place to reduce the risk to visitors, damage to resources, and to allow for post-fire recovery and repair.
This order is in effective until Thursday, Oct. 31, 2024, or until rescinded. For more details, please refer to the Emergency Fire Closure document and map at: https://www.fs.usda.gov/alerts/htnf/alerts-notices/?aid=90526.
