EMERGENCY CLOSURE ORDER - Bureau of Land Management - Roseburg District, Swiftwater Resource Area
2023 Chilcoot Fire UNF, 2023 Ridge Fire UNF
Publication Type: Closures 10/02/2023
Pursuant to 43 CFR 9212.2, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) hereby provides notice that effective at 12:01 a.m. on Thursday, August 31, 2023, the BLM administered-public lands described below are closed to all forms of public access and will remain closed until the Chilcoot Fire is declared controlled and/or conditions change to allow for an amendment to the closure area. Due to an expected increase in fire activity and predicted severe fire weather conditions, this closure is necessary to protect public land users from risks associated with active wildland fire, fire suppression, suppression repair, emergency stabilization, and burned area rehabilitation. The closure is also needed to protect wild land fire fighters from activities that could interfere with fire suppression. The health and safety of the public and the firefighters is our priority. BLM will post closure signs at main entry points to this area.
Please see the attached closure orders for more details.
