Area and Road Closure Orders Still in Effect for Anvil, Flat and Smith River Complex Fire Areas

 

MEDFORD, OR, Sept. 28, 2023 — Closure Orders remain in place for areas of the Rogue River – Siskiyou National Forest for the Anvil, Flat and Smith River Complex Fires. Recent precipitation across the forest allowed for the lifting of Public Use Restrictions, which allows campfires on areas of the forest that are not currently under a closure order. Lifting Public Use Restrictions for campfires does not rescind closure orders. Forest staff are working closely with fire managers daily to re-evaluate closures and look for opportunities to reopen them as soon as safely possible for both firefighters and the public. 

The following acts are prohibited upon closed areas within the forest. These orders will be effective through October 31, 2023, unless rescinded sooner. 

PROHIBITIONS: 

1. Being upon a closed road. 

2. Going into or being upon land within the Closure Area. 

3. Being on a trail within the Closure Area.

For the safety of firefighters and the public, please respect closure orders. The current fire danger rating is “moderate” for all five Ranger Districts. The Industrial Fire Precaution Level is currently at Level 1.
