The Continental Divide Trail is closed from Sheridan Pass to Pilot Knob. Union Pass road still open for the moment. Currently, the south flank of the fire is pushing east and hooking around near the Sand Butte area. If the direction of spread continues, the fire will be lined up to be pushed by the wind towards the Union Pass road. For these reasons the following areas are in stage "GO" and should evacuate immediately: Union Pass, Warm Springs, Porcupine, and Hat Butte. More Lava Mountain Fire info here.
