Weekend lightning strikes have ignited new wildfires near a complex of blazes burning since last week through the Klamath National Forest near California’s border with Oregon
Weekend lightning strikes ignited new wildfires near a complex of blazes that have been burning since last week through the Klamath National Forest near California’s border with Oregon, authorities said Monday.
“A moister air mass has moved over much of the Klamath today which should moderate fire behavior on any new starts,” the forest service said in a statement.Dozens of wildfires — most of them tiny — erupted in recent days as thunderstorms brought lightning and downdrafts that drove flames through timber and rural lands.
The Head Fire was part of the 16-square-mile Happy Camp Complex of blazes that destroyed nine structures and were threatening 1,600 others. There was zero containment. The Klamath National Forest sprawls over more than 2,650 square miles in Northern California and southern Oregon.
