“Firefighters are engaged in fire suppression and rehabilitation efforts on and in the vicinity of the Inn Fire, and this closure will help ensure both they and the public are kept safe until the hazards associated with this fire are mitigated,” said Mono Lake District Ranger Stephanie Heller.

There are multiple hazards associated with the burn within this area including rockfall, loose soils, and burning stumps. There are also four Nation Forest System Roads that are impacted by the fire that need to be assessed for hazards.

The Inn in fire started in the afternoon of May 22, 2025 and quickly grew rapidly involving extremely steep slopes on Nation Forest System Lands. Closure of the area shown on the attached map is necessary to help ensure that no one is injured within or near the fire perimeter.
