Forest Service News Release
Yreka, Calif., September 29, 2023— Due to excellent progress on fire suppression and repair activity on the Happy Camp Complex, the Klamath National Forest is reducing the area under emergency closure order. Forest Order 05-05-23-10 replaces the previously issued order 05-05-23-09, effectively lifting the eastern section of the closure on the Oak Knoll and Scott River ranger districts. The emergency closure order for the Happy Camp Ranger District remains unchanged.
The purpose of an emergency closure order is to provide for public safety in response to ongoing wildfire activity across the forest, including the Happy Camp Complex. A forest closure prohibits the public from entering portions of the forest in or near the vicinity of ongoing wildfire activity. The closure order also prohibits the use of roads, trails, and developed recreation sites within the closure area.
