The Chelan County Sheriff is closing the Stemilt Loop Road from Upper Wheeler Road to just north of and including Jump-Off Ridge Road and Colockum Road at Tarpiscan Road to all but LOCAL TRAFFIC ONLY. The Washington State Department of Natural Resources closed state lands accessed by these roads earlier in the week due to the movement of the Table Mountain Fire toward it. Continued concern about the fire's eastward movement prompted the Chelan County Sheriff's Office to close these roads today. Chelan County and Washington Department of First and Wildlife officers will sweep the area to infrom recreations who are within the area and may not yet be aware of the closures.
