 Pushed by strong SW/W winds the Twist Creek Fire became very active this afternoon making a run up Bend Creek and crossing the Magruder Road Corridor east of Horse Heaven Cabin.  
 
Due to current and expected fire behavior, fire personnel have implemented a road closure of the Magruder Corridor between Sabe Saddle and Observation Point to ensure public safety.

Magruder Road connecting Darby, MT. and Elk City, ID., is a 101-mile primitive wilderness road.      

Tomorrow will be another critical fire weather day requiring the road closure remain in place.  If fire behavior moderates later this week, fire managers will look for opportunities to allow traffic through in the mornings.
