#McKinneyFire (Klamath NF, Siskiyou Co) - From the community meeting: completed dozer line around Yreka. They have a dozer line up on the hill along the ridge system & a secondary line closer to town. Received precipitation throughout the day on the eastern side.
#McKinneyFire - Crews are also directly on the fires edge closest to Yreka building a combo of hand line + dozer line, have good line around Humbug Creek & working from there to the west. Working in Baldy Cap, copters in there now, mixed conditions due to smoke & weather.
#McKinneyFire - Using aircraft where possible. They're working towards Baker Flat & have dozer line across the ridge system north of Fort Jones as a secondary line. Scott Bar: handline going in there, working towards Mill Creek.
#McKinneyFire - Have been scouting systems N/E of Scott Bar to see what opportunities they have there to put in line towards Horse Creek. Lots of good work occurring around the structures east of Horse Creek by the school.
#McKinneyFire - They're putting in dozer line direct going north from Hwy 96 on the western side towards Deer Camp Meadow. Crews are also putting in dozer & hand line from the Beaver Creek side north of 96. Hoping to have those ends connected together in the next couple of days.
#McKinneyFire - The fire that spotted across Beaver Creek Rd to the N/E hasn't moved in a couple days. Hot shots are working in there on the fires edge in steep & rugged terrain. Probably take another couple of days to complete that line around that piece of the fire.
#McKinneyFire - They're keeping eyes on the Hwy 96 corridor on the eastern side, ensuring they secure values at risk. They're looking for opportunities to go direct w/ hand crews in there south from Hwy 96 towards Yreka, but it is steep & rugged terrain.
#McKinneyFire - Two individuals were located deceased in a vehicle @ a driveway on Doggett Creek Rd yesterday. Right now there are no missing persons reported, but the Sheriff urges people to call 530-842-8741 if you think someone is unaccounted for, they're doing welfare checks.
