It may not be fun if the fire gets into the bottom of the drainage.
Any idea on timeframe of impacting Interstate 5?
None of it is fun!
That drainage is the northern city limits of Yreka. Where many homes were lost several years ago from a fire, complete with rotating column slipped off the ridge

I-5 approx. 2.5 miles east with hwy 263 and the Shasta river in between. Fire will be transitioning to a grass⌠Scattered brush model within the next .5 mile. But the terrain gets steeper as it approaches hwy 263 and the Shasta river

Itâs really only a threat to a few dozen homes, unless there is a strong north wind, which isnât typical for the area. But if it gets established in the Shasta River canyon (if it isnât already) it will be difficult to put out. Very steep, roadless country.

It will be interesting to see what happens when that inversion layer lifts. Right now visibility is garbage.

If you watch the 12 hour time lapse you can see the 3 dozers pushin line on the bottom half of the fire.

Just got assigned. Any one have maps or calfire box info for this incident?
Whatâs your assignment?
It looks like they are possibly firing a little piece out in the SE corner at the moment, but other than that, not much happening on it.
