The Siskiyou County Sheriff's Office has issued an EVACUATION ORDER for the SOUTH side of the Klamath River from Gottsville to Scott River Road including communities of Klamath River and Walker Road due to the McKinney Fire burning northwest of Yreka. (Zones SIS 1120 and SIS 1123.)An Evacuation WARNING has been issued for the area in yellow: Zone 3502. The fire is burning in the McKinney Creek area. Residents under evacuation orders need to evacuate IMMEDIATELY. Surrounding areas should be ready to evacuate if needed.

See ZoneHaven Map for more information:https://community.zonehaven.com/?latlon=41.82241712634084,-122.95539351264563&z=10.422241185395976
 Resources are continuing to arrive at the incident. Several helicopters and air tankers are on scene. Temporary Evacuation Point (TEP) is at Seiad Valley Fire Hall.

The China2 Fire has combined with the nearby Evans Fire, 2-3 miles west of Seiad. Estimated size is 300-350 acres.

Access to this fire is difficult, due to very rugged terrain.

Currently 4 engines, 2 crews, and miscellaneous overhead are assigned to the fire. Resources are limited however because the majority of available personnel are aggressively working to slow the fast-moving #McKinneyFire. Committed personnel are working proactively on the China 2 ignition.

Evacuation warnings and orders are in place and remain fluid. For real-time information on evacuations, please visit https://community.zonehaven.com/?latlon=41.777339924880096,-122.93929620901986&z=9.320333460738778&selected=US-CA-XSK-SIS-2007.

The McKinney Fire has grown significantly as winds from late evening thunderstorms kept the fire active through the night. Runs on the north and south sides of the fire occurred.

Current estimated acreage is at 18,000 acres.

Firefighters were forced to shift from an offensive perimeter control effort to evacuations, point protection and structure defense. Numerous resources from multiple agencies are committed to this fire, and additional resources continue to arrive. A California Incident Management Team is in-briefing in Yreka today and will be taking control of the fire on Sunday morning.

Another day of very active fire behavior is anticipated with very hot temps in the forecast. A red flag warning is in effect for lightning.

Fire managers are expecting a very dynamic day on the fire as predicted weather is expected to be problematic for the firefighters.
