Both fires have since merged.
From the Air Group Supervisor, would like like two helicopters and early start for the tankers out of Redding and Medford and one lead plane.
Fire is now 180 acres with an estimated 30 acres on the south side of the Klamath River.
A Type 3 Incident Management Team will be taking over the fire in the morning.
