Airspace Structure
Prior to going on scheduled break; we received notice from dispatch of possible closure of a FIR (Flight Information Region) facility. Dispatch suggested possible routed if; in fact; the airspace or facility was closed. Crew discussion; weather; planning; and fuel changes were points of topic. I personally queried [Center] twice of the status of FIR facility and airspace. They responded saying both were open. Our routing was uneventful thus far. As the Captain returned from rest; the crew brief included the conversation I had with Center confirming [the FIR]. Prior to departing the cockpit for rest; there was nothing from dispatch; ATC; or other aircraft confirming actual closures.
B767 First Officer reported that they received information of a possible Flight Information Region closure while in cruise.
