An Evacuation Warning has been issued by Siskiyou County Sheriff for the area four miles around Cecilville. Visit https://www.co.siskiyou.ca.us/sheriff for further information.

Smoke from interior burning and defensive firing, intermingled with that from the August Fire Complex, continues to blanket communities in the area. Light, variable winds, and the continued inversion, prevent smoke dispersion causing poor air quality and visibility. Motorists should use caution when driving, particularly on narrow, winding roads.

No significant weather changes are expected. Low temperatures should range from the mid-50s to the mid-60s with highs from the lower 70s to the lower 80s. Minimum relative humidity should be in the 20s in the higher elevations with mainly 30s elsewhere.

Crews continued defensive firing along Hotelling Ridge, staying just ahead of the main body of the fire, which is backing down toward Cecilville Road. The fire has filled in around Knownothing Creek and is approaching the South Fork of the Salmon River as planned. Additional crews have been brought in to continue structure protection in the Godfrey/Black Bear/Blue Ridge area and around Cecilville.

An additional dozer was brought in to strengthen and aid ongoing fire line construction between Miller Ranch and the fire. Crews are preparing for planned defensive firing along Bake Oven Ridge in the next few days. Fire is continuing to hold well along the trail near Horse Linto Creek.

Crews have constructed fire control line around the slop over near Colgrove Branch of Mill Creek. Strategic firing operations are planned today to strength the lines. Road repair is ongoing in the northern area of the fire. Air support remains available when visibility permits.

Closures: Closures in the Klamath, Six Rivers and Trinity National Forests have been partially lifted. Areas which are closer to active fire will remain closed.
