More info coming soon (check the ANF website as it will be updated later today with a map and revised closure area), but as of today, most areas NOT in the Station Fire burn area have re-opened to public use.

Fire danger is at extreme, so no campfires or BBQ's on the forest.

yeah, it's fresh news, so give it a little time. They are still hashing out the specifics.  

Only thing I've noticed on the website so far is the closure scrolling they had across the top web page is gone.  Closure signs are still up and most gates are still closed in most areas, too, so give that some time as well.

Spoke to the guy at the Baldy Visitors center a few minutes ago by phone, and according to him, the trails up there are open as of this morning!
I specifically asked about Icehouse Canyon and he said they are all open up there.

Exhibit A & B seem to have been updated to show the new extents of a closure.

Links are to pdf files found on ANF site.

Just my 2 cents, but this is entirely unworkable.

The most problematic looks like the East Fork San Gabriel river will be open, west&north fork closed. That will lead to a massive headache in traffic and use.

The rest of it is like good luck with the enforcement. All I can say is Im not bringing some closure map with me on any hike.

the 39 is on the boundary, but is the 39 itself actually closed?

same question with Mt Wilson Toll Road?
