9/2/25 Morning update from Klamath National Forest on Facebook
A Red Flag Warning has been issued by the National Weather Service for the area surrounding the Blue Fire. Starting at 1:00 p.m., abundant lightning from scattered thunderstorms is expected in the area that brings the threats of new fire starts. In preparation for unstable conditions, firefighters have been identified for initial attack response to address any fire starts.
Firefighters have been preparing for the weather conditions that promote rapid spread of fire with a defensive strategy to triage and defend local structures and cultural sites, with support from air tanker planes and several helicopters. Additional structure defense teams have been deployed to Walker and Seiad Valley communities to aid in preparing structures for defensible space. Structure protection efforts include portable sprinkler systems, preparing around structures, hose lays in place, and clearing vegetation that provides fuels for fire activity.
