The closure area will be east of Sinks Road (Forest Service Road 055) from Cheney Creek Road (Forest Service Road 239) south to Slide Out Road (Forest Service Road 20272). The Sinks Road will only be closed during active fire ignitions. (approximately one day weather dependent).

Prescribed fires are timed for best smoke management. Visit airnow.gov for current air quality information. If smoke is present on roadways, drivers should slow down and turn on headlights. Please do not report these fires. Firefighters remain on scene throughout ignitions and conduct patrols in the project area after the burning is complete.
