There is line around 3/4 of the fire at a revised size of 3/4 acre – per Incident Command

Confidence continues to increase in widespread thunderstorms across parts of the Northwest an northern Great Basin Wednesday. As moisture associated with a prominent shortwave trough lifts northward, thunderstorm development is likely by early afternoon across the higher terrain of northern CA/NV and southern OR. Forecast soundings depict weak buoyancy atop inverted-v thermodynamic profiles, which would support high-based, fast-moving thunderstorms over receptive fuels. With minimal rainfall accumulations, lightning ignitions are likely. A few storms may persist overnight as the shortwave trough continues northward into southern WA and the Cascades. Given the threat for scattered to numerous thunderstorms, critical dry thunderstorm highlights will be maintained and shifted west/south for recent model guidance.

Update from Klamath National Forest

Acreage: 19,455 / Containment: 10%

Current Situation: The California Interagency Incident Management Team 4 has officially taken command of the Orleans Complex Fire. and is now in unified command with the Siskiyou County Sheriff’s Office and the Office of Emergency Management for the Orleans Complex Fire. Together, they are leading efforts to manage the fire and keep the public safe and informed.

Last night – Rainfall overnight helped slow down fire activity. Crews were also able to continue firing operations, which went well and helped strengthen containment lines.

Today – In the northern area of the Butler Fire, crews are continuing efforts to hold the fire on Salmon River Road. They are also watching the area closely and mop up where safe to do so. On the northeast side, firefighters will continue direct line construction, mop up, and work to prevent the fire from moving into Crapo Creek. Moving down the east side, direct line construction will continue in Murderers Gulch as terrain and fire behavior permit. A structure protection group is in place to prepare structures.

At the southeastern end, firefighters will continue to construct and improve lines along Hoteling Ridge. They are also working to mop-up existing lines in Knownothing Creek. On the west side, the fire is slowly backing towards existing lines east and west of Orleans Mountain Lookout. Mop up will continue in areas where the fire has made it to control lines. Firefighters will respond to any fire movement out of Lunch Creek and Hemmel Creek toward constructed lines.

A Red Flag Warning is issued when we identify weather conditions
that promote rapid spread of fire which may become life-
threatening. This does not mean there is a fire. These conditions
are either occurring now or will begin soon. It is important to
have multiple ways to receive information from authorities.
