The U.S. Forest Service announced Tuesday that all but five California national forests closed in late August will reopen two days early.
All but five of California’s national forests — previously closed under an emergency order issued in late August — will reopen two days early, officials said Tuesday.
The closure order will end at 11:59 p.m. Wednesday, two days before Friday’s original end date, according to an announcement by the U.S. Department of Agriculture Forest Service’s Pacific Southwest Region. Forest-wide closures will remain in place until midnight Sept. 22 for the Los Padres, Angeles, San Bernardino and Cleveland national forests in Southern California because of “weather and fire factors,” and a temporary strain on firefighting resources battling blazes in other areas of the state, the Forest Service said.
In addition, the El Dorado National Forest in Northern California will stay closed until Sept. 30, the Forest Service said.“We are constantly evaluating weather and fire conditions in California, as well as regional and national firefighting resources available to us so that we can ensure the safety of the public and our firefighters,” said Regional Forester Jennifer Eberlien. “Some factors are more favorable now, which is why I decided to end the regional closure order.
