Sheridan County Sheriff’s Office has announced that all "Ready" evacuation statuses related to the Elk Fire have been lifted. No areas within Sheridan County remain under any form of evacuation.

However, several roads will remain closed to ensure the safety of local residents and ongoing firefighting efforts. The following roads are restricted to local residents and fire personnel only:

• Twin Creek Road at Parkman Access

• Smith Creek Road (closed at the dry weather road)

• Tongue Canyon Road (closure moved to Amsden Creek Road intersection)

• Amsden Road

• Little Goose Canyon Road

• PK Lane (intersection of Beckton Road)

Additionally, the following roads are under a hard closure, meaning that only fire personnel are permitted in these areas. For the safety of the public, both vehicles and pedestrians are prohibited from accessing these locations due to heavy fire equipment in operation:

• Red Grade Road (at the winter closure)

All other road closures have been lifted.

Sheridan County will no longer be issuing daily updates unless there are changes to road closures or other significant developments. However, we will continue to share updates from the Bighorn National Forest as needed.

We extend our gratitude to the residents of Sheridan County for staying informed and for their cooperation with evacuation orders and road closures during this emergency.
