YREKA, Calif. — Authorities said two bodies were found inside a burned vehicle in the path of a raging Northern California wildfire that is one of several…
The McKinney Fire exploded in size to more than 212 square km after erupting Friday in a largely unpopulated area in the Klamath National Forest just south of the Oregon state line, according to a Sunday night incident report. It is California’s largest wildfire of the year so far.
A second, smaller fire just to the west that was sparked by dry lightning Saturday threatened the tiny town of Seiad. About 400 structures were under threat from the two California fires. Authorities have not confirmed the extent of the damage yet, saying assessments would begin when it was safe to reach the area.
In northwest Montana, a fire sparked in grasslands near the town of Elmo had grown to about 44 square km Sunday after advancing into forest. Crews worked along edges of the fire, and aircraft were expected to continue to make water and retardant drops to help slow the fire’s advance, said Sara Rouse, a spokesperson with the interagency team assigned to the fire. High temperatures and erratic winds were expected, she said.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom declared a state of emergency Saturday as the McKinney Fire intensified. The proclamation allows Newsom more flexibility to make emergency response and recovery effort decisions and access federal aid.
