The Deschutes National Forest forest closures allow more efficient firefighting operations on the fire on the eastern zone of the fire and because of increasing fire growth on the southern tip of Waldo Lake and in the Cultus Lake area. View the forest closure map.

People can go to the Deschutes National Forest’s website (www.fs.usda.gov/main/deschutes/home) to see the closure map and “Know Before You Go” information. Persons who enter closure areas may place themselves at risk from firefighting operations and may not be aware of changing fire conditions that may threaten the area.
