McKinney Fire map: Where the wildfire is burning in Siskiyou County

if you key in this url you can read the fire map. It appears about double the amount of fires are burning now from Siskiyou County north into Southern Oregon. It is presently 83 in Ashland going to 92 there today, Yreka is presently 79 with light rain falling with a high of 92 there and hopefully no more lightning which could bring more fires. Friends driving through yesterday said the smoke was so bad near Interstate 5 around Yreka that it was even hard to drive through there on the Freeway. However, most fires are lightning caused and hopefully will be out soon as they jump on them as soon as they are started by lightning.

McKinney Fire map: Where the wildfire is burning in Siskiyou County

Siskiyou Daily News

Wildfires in California exploded in size over the weekend amid windy, hot conditions.

In California's Klamath National Forest, the fast-moving McKinney fire, which started Friday, went from charring just over 1 square mile to scorching as much as 62 square miles by Saturday near the Oregon state line, according to fire officials. The fire burned down at least a dozen residences and wildlife was seen fleeing the area to avoid the flames.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom declared a state of emergency Saturday. Here's where the McKinney Fire and other California wildfires are burning.
