A night operations update video can be viewed at this link on Facebook.
From the video update: The Blue Fire continued to grow today & is crossing some of the initial attack lines, but the big fear at this point is that the winds are going push it towards the north towards Walker & Seiad Valley, so there are serious concerns. There will be 5 strike teams of engines prepping houses & continuing to prepare for a blow-up if it occurs. A good portion of the area is evacuated already & further evacuations may occur – continue to monitor the Sheriff’s website.
Note: A shelter is available at the Katishraam Wellness Center, 1403 Kahtishraam, Yreka, CA 96097 – per the update from Siskiyou County Sheriff’s on Facebook.
