<\/p>\nBear Valley, CA…The Pacific Crest Trail is open to public use. Fire activity has been minimal during the past week, with an overall fire growth of only 150 acres since Sunday September 2. The Stanislaus National Forest Burned Area Emergency Rehabilitation (BAER) Team is currently working on their soil assessment regarding the burn severity for the Donnell Fire. Weather conditions are expected to become warmer and drier during the next couple of days. The conditions to produce afternoon thunderstorms still exist; however, it will be less than previous days. We will continue to update you with any threats over the fire area.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Stanislaus National Forest will be reducing the closure area starting Monday September 10, 2018. An update and new map will be disseminated at that time with specifics to the remaining closure area.<\/p>\n
A Revised Forest Closure Order (STF-16-2018-12) was issued on August 30, 2018 to open up areas of the Stanislaus National Forest not directly affected by the Donnell Fire. This revised order supersedes the previous forest closure order (STF-16-2018-11). The revised order opens up Bull Run Lake on the Calaveras Ranger District. On the Summit Ranger District, it opens up the south side of Hwy 108 between Kennedy Meadow and Sonora Pass, the Sonora Pass Trailhead, and the trail from Kennedy Meadow to Relief Reservoir (Trail 20E11). Active fire, fire suppression actions, hazardous standing trees, and risk from rock fall provide clear indicators that the fire area is still dangerous and the public is restricted from entering the current closure area.<\/p>\n
Forest Closure Area: The forest area impacted by the fire remains closed. This includes all residences and campgrounds along Eagle Meadow Road (5N01), the Highway 108 corridor, and the Clark Fork Road area. Property owners may obtain permits for access through the Summit Ranger District. Spicer Reservoir is closed but the campgrounds remain open. Highland Lakes Road (8N01) is open to Tryon Meadow only \u2013 Highland Lakes Campground and Trailhead are closed.
