Current Situation

Situation Summary

As of today, California Interagency Management Team 1 has joined CAL FIRE Team 6 in unified command on the Shelly Fire, completing the transition from California Interagency Management Team 12 and CAL FIRE Siskiyou Unit.


Yesterday, personnel made good progress in increasing containment along the fire’s north and east perimeter including in the Kidder Creek and Patterson Creek drainage areas, and continued to go direct with air and ground resources along the southern and western portions of the fire. Small pockets of interior fuel continue to burn in some areas; currently, they do not pose a major threat to containment lines.


As further progress has been made, evacuation orders and warnings have been reduced accordingly; please visit the Siskiyou County Sherriff Office webpage for the latest information. Drivers in the area should remain alert for fire personnel and heavy equipment on or near the roadways, as crews continue expanding containment lines and addressing any flare-ups around the fire’s perimeter.

WEATHER:
A hot and dry pattern with enhanced terrain-driven winds will continue for the next several days, with a slight chance of isolated thunderstorms Saturday evening.
