McNeil Canyon Road

Douglas County Fire District 5 says it was sent to a vehicle fire at 6:57pm found the car fully engulfed in flames.

The closure is necessary to allow county crews to complete work on analysis, design and evaluation of the right-of-way acquisitions for a planned roadway realignment and safety improvement project on McNeil Canyon Road, slated for completion in 2025.

State and local crews worked all day Sunday to reinforce fire lines, and mop-up the interior of the fire which burned 76 acres.
