No Changes to Evacuation Status or Road Closures as Fire Suppression and Restoration Work Continue on the Elk Fire

In response to ongoing fire suppression and restoration efforts, officials have announced that no changes will be made today to the current evacuation statuses or road closures.
Red Grade Road remains under a hard closure, with access restricted to fire personnel only. Closed roadways are being used for restoration work and heavy machinery, making public access unsafe at this time.

Officials will continue to evaluate the needs of the Elk Fire Incident Management Team and make adjustments to public access when it is safe to do so. We appreciate the public’s understanding and cooperation as fire crews work to control the fire and restore the affected areas.
