Apparently the fire is moving that direction and the decision to close it for firefighter and public safety was made sometime just before 4. This is a hard closure even to residents trying to get home. My understanding is it is being manned on both sides. Confirmed with resident and USFS.
Here is John Chesnut’s heat map for tonight, and it shows no hot spots near Nacimiento Road. It looks like they may be staging. They are using a military cop at the border with the base, and he is not letting anyone through. One guard told a local that they were staging and bringing up large vehicles tomorrow.

Oh dear..i am so sorry-especially hard with no notice. Sympathies from sky ranch soul whose home burned down while at work-no notice
USFS PIO knew it was coming, just not when, and tried to warn me at 1 pm, but didn’t get the vm until later.
Are you now in danger!
Thinking of you, Kate.
Oh, Kate! My heart is with you oxoxo
What about the mountain top residents who have no other access in or out of their properties?!?!
A Chesnut heat map is worth a thousand words (especially if we’re not on FacePlant and don’t get the afternoon briefing grrr)
