Due to ongoing dry conditions and prevailing high winds, Fire Marshal Colorado Cordova of the Los Alamos Fire Department (LAFD) has elevated fire restrictions to Stage 2 within the boundaries of Los Alamos County to safeguard public health and safety, as well as protect lands, structures, natural and historical artifacts.
The McCauley Springs Fire, reported on June 24, has closed NM4 near Valles Caldera National Preserve. Please check NPS and USFS websites before visiting to confirm if they are open.
