9/5/25 Morning update from Klamath National Forest on Facebook:
Yesterday, there was predicted fire weather conditions and spotting was observed on the north side of the fire. The fire continues to actively burn north, and northwest influenced by rollout, which is when burning material rolls downhill and ignites vegetation. The fire will continue to move west with very little movement expected on the east side. Firefighters constructed contingency lines along Grider Ridge to the west, which runs parallel to the Pacific Coast Trail, and Slinker Ridge to the east.
Firefighters continue supporting structure protection in the Seiad Valley and Walker Creek areas. Miles of hose and sprinklers have been installed for structure protection requiring large amounts of water. This water is taken from deeper areas of the Klamath River to avoid using water from shallow tributaries that are colder and more desirable for Salmon and Steelhead migration. Resource advisors for the Blue Fire work closely with firefighters and the Karuk Tribe.
Temperatures are forecasted to decrease as relative humidity rises causing the fire to moderate. Fire intensity is expected to decrease with the coming weather and anticipated moisture early next week.
