Situation Summary
Shelly Fire Update from Klamath National Forest
Active fire was seen last night until 2:30 AM, and, around 3:00 AM, the fire showed moderate activity. Crews are making progress this morning along the Pacific Crest Trail. Smoke has settled into the drainages, so we are not able to see the activity on the spot fires on the northeast side of the main fire. The fire is backing down into Middle Creek drainage. We anticipate fire activity increasing later today as temperatures increase. Steep, rugged terrain is making access difficult.
If you are out on the forest today, please pay attention to where you are in relation to the Shelly Fire, heed any changes in wind direction, be mindful of fire crews and equipment, and remember all fireworks are not permitted on forest lands anytime of the year.
