Smoke from the Bowles Creek Fire continues to impact local communities, especially along Hwy 38, Skalkaho
Road. Hwy 38 remains open. However, motorists are urged to drive slowly and with caution as heavy fire
operations are occurring along the entirety of the roadway. Additionally, smoke from the fire settles more
heavily at night, so drivers are urged to remain extra vigilant if traveling through the area after sunset. In
light of potential changing fire conditions, it is recommended to check for updated information on road and
area closures prior to traveling. Updates can be found on Inciweb or the Bowles Creek Fire Facebook page. If
road access changes, a news release/update will be released by the Incident Management Team.
