In didn’t pose an immediate threat to the site. However, in anticipation of the fire’s continued progression to the north and in the interest of public safety, the U.S. Forest Service has closed the Arroyo Seco Campground and Day Use Area until further notice.

The recreation area is about 14 miles west of Greenfield. This closure does not affect private lands in the area or the Arroyo Seco Road east of the recreation area.

The fire is about 30 percent contained.
