Please Avoid Beaver Creek Road

The Sheridan County Sheriff’s Office asks the community to avoid the Beaver Creek Road area tonight to allow firefighters and other emergency responders to access the area.

While the road is not closed, please stay clear of the area if you don’t live in the immediate surroundings.

Officials continue to monitor fire behavior.

According to the Big Horn National Forest: What you saw tonight night was the interaction of the fires they set reaching a ridgeline and interacting with the wildfire. They know it looked scary, but they looked at it and saw tonights operations working. They will continue to monitor, but the fire is moving together, like waves, with the strategic firing operation from today coming from the top and the main fire body coming from the bottom.

We encourage everyone to monitor the Sheridan County Facebook page and the Sheridan County website for the most up-to-date information.

Thank you for your cooperation as we work to ensure the safety of all residents.
