You can check the local conditions by selecting the Slinkard fire at
https://inciweb.nwcg.gov/state/5/Two notes from there at noon today:
"Yesterday, Highway 395 was closed temporarily for fire suppression efforts."

"Highway 395 is open. Highway 89 over Monitor Pass remains closed due to fire activity. Motorists traveling on Highway 395 are reminded that there will be large amounts of holiday, fire, and Burning Man traffic. Please drive with additional care."
