I'm seeing reports of large scale public land closures. All national forest and BLM land is closed to public access here in Boulder County due to fire conditions. Are others seeing the same?

Cheers,

Due to unprecedented and historic fire conditions, @usfsarp is temporarily closing all National Forest land in Clear Creek, Jefferson, Gilpin, Boulder, and Larimer counties, effective midnight tonight. Decision to be re-evaluated daily. http://ow.ly/qOHH50BXX4W

There are closures of national forest areas.  Below is an except from a posting from

October 21 CalWood and Lefthand Canyon Fire Update:

Closures and Evacuations: Road closures, evacuation orders, and evacuation warnings put in place by Boulder County Sheriff’s Office remain in effect for areas near both the CalWood and Lefthand Canyon fires. For more information on evacuation orders near both fires, please visit https://arcg.is/0Lq5fD. Effective today, the U.S. Forest Service has a temporary closure in place for all activities on Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forest lands in Clear Creek, Jefferson, Gilpin, Boulder, and Larimer counties. For more information on this emergency closure, please visit https://go.usa.gov/x7CZJ.

I also saw a NewsBreak report that Boulder is closing its open spaces
