FOREST CLOSURE ORDER PROHIBITS ENTRY TO PUBLIC

The Vista Fire Closure Order prohibits the public from entering the area shown on the map. This includes entering the forest through Lytle Creek Road. All forest lands and recreation areas, including Lytle Creek, are off limits to the public in the closure area.

During today’s fire operations, crews continued to put in handline up the western flank of the fire and secured the fire line from the 3N06, 3N06/D roads and from Lytle Creek. Fire managers used unmanned aircraft systems in the Lytle Creek area to monitor the fire. Due to the potential for dry lightning and high wind gusts, a red flag warning has been issued by the National Weather Service today through 9 PM tomorrow for the area.
