Recovery Information

I’ve created a Creek Fire Recovery Resources Page for residents and businesses impacted by the Creek Fire.

Resident Re-Entry Information:

Find information on the latest Sierra National Forest Closures on the SNF webpage.

Residents must fill out a permit application in order to enter restricted areas to access their property. Go to the Forest Service application page to download the proper form, and then contact the Bass Lake Ranger District (as of at least 11/17/20 no longer need to contact the Ranger Station, just carry the permit you filled out with you when entering the restricted area.
