Per Florida Forestry, the Interstate 10 closure has been extended to Exit 31/Hwy. 87. I-10 is now closed from Exit 22 (Avalon) east to Exit 31/Hwy. 71 due to fire.
Based on projected weather patterns that will continue to support extreme fire behavior, evacuations are recommended for residents south of Interstate 10 from Escambia Bay to Blackwater Bay. All residents south of I-10 to the Garcon Point Bridge are recommended to evacuate.
