The Marine Regimental Commander, Col. Durrant, will be visiting Marines stationed at the Clear Creek fire over the next several days. Demobilization of Marines is expected to begin Tuesday. They worked on clearing portions of the Hoodoo Trail affected by the fires yesterday. The Norton Lookout will be wrapped as a precaution due to the threat of the nearby Shellrock fire. The Small Business Administration has opened a temporary field office in the Salmon City office building.
Any local business is eligible to apply for a working capital loan for economic injury.
The remainder of Unit 28 remains closed to public access due to the hazardous conditions created by the Clear Creek Fire. All wilderness lands, trails and airstrips are open except for the portion of the wilderness lying in Hunting Unit 28. The Salmon River and the Middle Fork of the Salmon are open. Vehicle access to the eastern part of the Frank Church River of No Return Wilderness is unavailable to the Yellowjacket, Big Horn Crags and Clear Creek trails because roads entering Unit 28 in these areas are still closed. Forest users can now access the Meyers Cove and Camas Creek areas.
