Airport Fire road closure updates for Orange County

The following “Hard” Road Closures remain in place for: 

  • Trabuco Canyon Road and Trabuco Creek Road 
  • Silverado and Maple Springs

Regarding the re-opening of the Ortega Highway, drivers should expect heavy delays due to work crews entering and exiting from Orange & Riverside Counties.  Intermittent closures should be expected as repairs to critical infrastructure continue.  Do not expect a normal flow of traffic.

Fire crews remain actively engaged in suppression efforts. Visitors are reminded to stay out of the area affected by the fire, and refrain from recreational use of roads, trails, switchbacks and areas until the fire is fully contained. 

The Orange County Sheriff’s Department will continue to have a strong presence in the repopulated and evacuated areas for the next several days to ensure the protection of our residents and their property. 

The OC Public Information Hotline phone number is (714) 628-7085.

Hi-Lo Siren

Some of the Sheriff's Department's patrol units are now equipped with a new siren feature to alert residents to evacuation orders during emergencies, such as a fire or flood. The system also is equipped with an external PA system that can play recorded messages to notify residents about the need to evacuate.

Our priority during any emergency is your safety, and this new tool will help bolster our response efforts during mass evacuations. Remember: When you hear hi-lo, it's time to go!
