SILVER CITY, NM, June 11, 2024 – An area closure is in effect for the Antone fire in the Quemado Ranger District, Gila National Forest. “This closure order is necessary to maintain our top priority which is always to protect firefighters and provide for public safety,” said Quemado District Ranger, Randall Chavez. “Active fire and firefighter activity on the ground and in the air require the public to avoid the area so that firefighters can focus on their operations.”

The closure order is identified at the intersection of Catron County (CAT) Road A095, also known as Mangas Road, and National Forest System Road (NFSR) 13 west 7.2 miles to the intersection of NFSR 13 and NFSR 93 north for 12 miles to the junction with NFSR 93 and CAT Road A095, south 7.3 miles back to the junction of CAT Road A095 and NFSR 13. This includes a portion of the Continental Divide Trail and Valla Tio Vince Campground.
