Road Closures and Evacutions Lifted for Pedro Mountain Fire Area

After carefully evaluating current fire activity and the remaining work to be done on the fire, local authorities and cooperating agencies have worked with the incident management team and determined the evacuations and road closures put in place for the Pedro Mountain fire will be lifted today, September 4, at 2:00 p.m. This includes Pedro Mountain Estates, Pedro Mountain Ranch Road, Cardwell Ranch, Natrona County Road 407 / Carbon County 291 (also known as Kortes Road), and all roads west of the highway to Pathfinder Reservoir.

Though the reopening of the roads applies to all members of the public, any unnecessary travel into the fire area should be limited due to firefighters continuing patrol work, crews removing sprinklers and hoses, and heavy machinery working in the area.

Rentry precautions are available below, detailing travel considerations, hazards, and restrictions.
