Mt. Bachelor suspended all operations for the rest of Saturday “due to active fires in the area and extreme fire risk.” Officials with Mt. Bachelor added they will remain closed on Sunday and plan to re-open on Thursday (their regular fall hours.)

A Level 2 “Be Set” notice is in effect for the Firestone Fire south of Pine Mountain near the Lake County line.
