Any public highway traversing the hazardous fire area, shall, however, be excluded from the order of closure, and the closure to entry does not prohibit or curtail the entry or use of the lands by the owner of the lands or the owner’s agent, nor the entry by a federal, state or county officer upon the closed area in the performance of their official duties. All state and county law enforcement officers shall enforce the order of closure.
