All California national forests to temporarily close
California is closing all its national forests for more than two weeks as a precaution to ‘decrease the potential’ of more fires. The United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) said all national forests will remain closed until 17 September. It takes effect from midnight 1 September.
The USDA says the dry conditions will continue making the likelihood of further fires a possibility. Only people with special forest service permits or landowners are exempt.
