If the National parks were managed better ( like it used to ) we wouldn’t be in another awful fire season! Thank you ‘tree huggers’. |

Here's a great info site I followed during the Dixie Fire. If you go to the site, you can click on " About", and read about Zeke Lunder and read his history with mapping wildfires. He grew up in Westwood, east of us here, and Val know's his Parents. Anyway another good site to bookmark in favorites during fire season. Best to all of you, Jeff |

I've been out there as late as mid October, -the days are much shorter at that time of the year... I feel for the ones who lost everything and of course there were lives lost much like during this recent flooding in Kentucky, -it happens more frequently nowadays, -we all have to take better care of Mama Earth... |

oh, I had a man on site up there on that one. My son is in the national guard and that's the fire he was put on. Nasty fire...and so is McKinney. Prayers going out for all in harms way, and thanks for the extra resource. When one of these starts anywhere near friends or family (and I have them throughout the state), I'm all over them. With the lightning storms down here this week, it's a bit nervewracking. More probably coming starting thursday here. We seem to have a disintegrating hurricane off the coast to the southwest, "Frank". While our alaskan current will kill it as a hurricane/TS, the moisture and energy will keep getting spiraled into California...most likely, elevating t-storms all week. You know how that goes. unfortunately--will post a new article that two more dead have been found in the McKinney fire :( |

I know the affected areas so well, some small places along the Klamath River seem to be totally gone, -it's sad beyond sad... I tried to google how the places I know so well fared/are faring... |

Two more people found dead in McKinney Fire, raising death toll to 4, sheriff’s office says KCRA Updated: 10:33 AM PDT Aug 2, 202 SISKIYOU COUNTY, Calif. — Two more people were found dead in the McKinney Fire perimeter, bringing the death toll to four for the fire burning in Siskiyou County, according to the sheriff’s office. Officials had said two people were found Sunday inside a vehicle in a residential driveway along Doggett Creek Road and Highway 96. Then on Tuesday, the sheriff’s office said two more people were located in separate homes along State Route 96. There are no unaccounted-for people, officials said. No information was released about the people killed pending identification and notification of next of kin. The McKinney Fire has forced several evacuations in the area, and has burned at least 55,493 acres as of Tuesday morning, according to the United States Forest Service. Evacuations in the McKinney Fire An evacuation order means there’s an immediate threat to livelihood and evacuation is mandatory. An evacuation warning means fire behavior could threaten nearby homes and businesses. Although no one is required to leave during an evacuation warning, it is still highly encouraged. | MORE | See the evacuation map here A portion of Highway 96 remains closed due to the blaze. | MORE | Follow the Siskiyou County Sheriff’s Office and the Siskiyou County Office of Emergency Services social media pages for the latest on evacuations Authorities are warning those who had to evacuate about the loss of communication and the "displacement of persons from their homes." They say to first try all phone numbers, emails and social media accounts to contact a person. Then you can contact the American Red Cross concerning a missing friend or relative that may be in an evacuation shelter by calling 1-800-RED CROSS (1-800-733-2767). After trying all known contacts and shelters, if the person is still unaccounted for as the result of the McKinney Fire and you believe they are missing, people can contact the Siskiyou County Emergency Operations Center Unaccounted Persons line at: 530-842-8741. This line is staffed from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily. Authorities ask that you do not call 911 for non- emergency information as dispatchers are busy routing emergency traffic. | RELATED | 2022 Northern California wildfire resources: Where to find county evacuation info, maps, alerts and more Battling the fire Firefighting crews on the ground were trying to prevent the blaze from moving toward the town of Yreka, population about 7,500, about four miles away as of Sunday. A second, smaller fire in the region that was sparked by dry lightning Saturday threatened the tiny California community of Seiad. Overall, officials said about 400 structures were threatened by the two fires. Authorities have not confirmed the extent of the damages far in the areas that have burned, saying assessments would begin when it was safe to go inside them. A third fire, which was on the southwest end of the McKinney blaze, prompted evacuation orders for around 500 homes Sunday, said Courtney Kreider, a spokesperson with the Siskiyou County Sheriff’s Office. The office said crews had been on the scene of the fire since late Saturday but by the following morning it “became active and escaped its containment line.” The childhood home of one sheriff's deputy burned on Friday, Kreider said, Thunderstorms that brought barrages of lightning and threatened to spark new fires in dry fuel beds in Northern California were expected to move out of the area starting Monday, forecasters said. |

video at link VIDEO: Puppy rescued from Northern California wildfire rubble KCRABy Greta Serrin Updated: 1:58 PM PDT Aug 2, 2022 SISKIYOU COUNTY, Calif. — A little bit of good news and a lot of luck coming out of a destructive wildfire burning near the California- Oregon border as a photojournalist saved a puppy wandering around the ruins of the McKinney Fire. Jonathan Rivas said he arrived at the community of Klamath River early Saturday morning, just hours after the wildfire broke out where he said there was a lot of damage, with trees and homes burned. Rivas said he was finishing filming one neighborhood when he heard yelping. "I heard a yelp in the distance, but I didn't really know what it was, I thought it was an injured deer or one of the wildlife that's there," the AIO Filmz photojournalist said. "All of a sudden, this little puppy comes and runs up to me. I was super shocked to see that come from the rubble there." See the full rescue video in the player above The puppy was clearly excited to see Rivas in the video. The puppy allowed Rivas to pick him up and put him in the back of his car. "He was very excited, he was wagging his tail, I am talking to him like I'm talking to my dog, I picked him up, put him in the trunk of my car," Rivas said. Puppy rescued from McKinney Fire by photojournalist taking video of damage near Klamath River. He gave him some water before driving to Yreka and dropping him off at a shelter. Rivas posted the video on social media, where he found the puppy's family. The puppy has been reunited with its family. | VIDEO | Watch the full story behind the rescue below "Reuniting it with their family and after hearing their story, it makes me feel good, I am just happy, I was at the right place at the right time," Rivas said. |
