I was driving thru Hemet this afternoon and saw a caravan of fire engines from numerous cities and counties heading toward the 10 presumably to go home. Engines from Torrance, Calipatria, and even Yuma!

Travis County had their water dropping helos out for us too. I appreciate and thank every single first responder who is out here helping us to be safe and secure.

I don't see any smoke near my place, nor do I have helicopters flying over. They lifted some of the evacuation orders, but not for us up here, not sure why.

Anyone know where I can find active road closures for this?

Last Thursday I tried driving home from Escondido to Palm Desert thru the 79/74 thru Anza, but then got turned around at a roadblock in Aguanga on the 371. Id made that drive jist the night prior. That closure wasn't anywhere to be found online at the time.

Is there a live or up to date listing of related closures?

I also use the Caltrans Road Information website: https://roads.dot.ca.gov

And they have a phone number that you just type in the highway number and the recorded message will give you the current situation. I have this one in my cell phone contacts for when I am on the road:
