Los Padres National Forest closure extended until Sept. 22
Los Padres National Forest remains closed alongside other Southern California national forests.
The regional order that closed California’s national forests was rescinded, but Los Padres National Forest is extending a forest-wide emergency closure through midnight Sept. 22.
The Angeles, Cleveland and San Bernardino national forests will also remain closed during this time.
The closures are intended to keep firefighters and members of the public safe. Fire personnel from the region have been working for weeks fighting large wildfires across the West.
There are 11 large uncontained fires on National Forest System lands in California, and more than 15,000 personnel, 303 crews and 1,113 engines are providing aid to the wildfires.
