Last updated: 2026-10-21 --- The type of incident is Prescribed Fire and involves the following unit(s) Klamath National Forest. --- State: California --- Coordinates: Latitude: 41° 42 24 Longitude: 122° 38 40 --- NOTE: All fire perimeters and points are approximations. --- Incident Overview: Klamath National Forest prepares for fall prescribed burningRelease Date: October 1, 2026 (YREKA, Calif., October 1, 2026) — Cooler temperatures and changing fall conditions are creating opportunities for the Klamath National Forest to conduct prescribed underburning as weather and fuel conditions allow.Prescribed fire is an important tool used by the Klamath National Forest to reduce hazardous fuels, protect communities, improve wildlife habitat and forest health, reduce the potential severity of future wildfires, and promote public and firefighter safety.Prescribed underburning is the intentional application of low- to moderate-intensity fire under carefully selected weather and fuel conditions. Before a prescribed burn is conducted, fire managers develop a detailed burn plan that identifies the specific conditions, or prescription, needed to safely meet project objectives.“Prescribed fire requires careful planning and close coordination with weather and fuel conditions,” said Klamath National Forest Supervisor Chris L. Christofferson. “Our fire managers are prepared to take advantage of appropriate burn windows when conditions are favorable and it is safe to do so.”Burn prescriptions consider factors such as temperature, humidity, wind speed and direction, fuel moisture and expected fire behavior. These conditions are monitored closely before and during burning. Fire managers also consider wind direction and other factors to minimize smoke impacts to nearby communities. The Klamath National Forest has several prescribed burn units prepared across the forest and will conduct burning when conditions meet established prescriptions.Goosenest Ranger DistrictCedar Mountain: 600 acres, approximately 10 miles southeast of Macdoel.First Creek: 224 acres, just north of Grass Lake.Military Pass Road: 1.5 acres to improve habitat for the rare Cooke’s phacelia plant.Salmon-Scott River Ranger DistrictHayden Ridge: 240 acres, approximately 3 miles north of Callahan.Jess: 300 acres, approximately one-half mile south of Sawyers Bar.Scott Bar Mountain: 160 acres, approximately 12 miles west of Fort Jones.Happy Camp Oak Knoll Ranger DistrictCade Mountain: 110 acres, just east of Happy Camp.Prescribed burning may result in visible smoke in and around project areas. Smoke may linger for a day or two following ignition, depending on weather conditions. Residents and visitors can monitor local air quality at AirNow’s Fire and Smoke Map - https://fire.airnow.gov/#7.79/41.526/-122.645.Following a widespread wetting rain or snow event that effectively ends the fire season, fire managers will transition to pile burning. Pile-burning units are located throughout the forest and encompass thousands of acres.Fire managers will continue to monitor weather and fuel conditions to identify suitable opportunities for prescribed burning. Project information, including updates on planned burning, will be shared through the Klamath National Forest Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/KlamathNF and updated on this page.The public is encouraged to stay informed and use caution when traveling near prescribed fire operations. --- Source: InciWeb | http://inciweb.wildfire.gov/incident-information/caknf-klamath-national-forest-fall-prescribed-burning

Before a prescribed burn is conducted, fire managers develop a detailed burn plan that identifies the specific conditions, or prescription, needed to safely meet project objectives.“Prescribed fire requires careful planning and close coordination with weather and fuel conditions,” said Klamath National Forest Supervisor Chris L. Christofferson. “Our fire managers are prepared to take advantage of appropriate burn windows when conditions are favorable and it is safe to do so.”Burn prescriptions consider factors such as temperature, humidity, wind speed and direction, fuel moisture and expected fire behavior. These conditions are monitored closely before and during burning. Fire managers also consider wind direction and other factors to minimize smoke impacts to nearby communities. The Klamath National Forest has several prescribed burn units prepared across the forest and will conduct burning when conditions meet established prescriptions.Goosenest Ranger DistrictCedar Mountain: 600 acres, approximately 10 miles southeast of Macdoel.First Creek: 224 acres, just north of Grass Lake.Military Pass Road: 1.5 acres to improve habitat for the rare Cooke’s phacelia plant.Salmon-Scott River Ranger DistrictHayden Ridge: 240 acres, approximately 3 miles north of Callahan.Jess: 300 acres, approximately one-half mile south of Sawyers Bar.Scott Bar Mountain: 160 acres, approximately 12 miles west of Fort Jones.Happy Camp Oak Knoll Ranger DistrictCade Mountain: 110 acres, just east of Happy Camp.Prescribed burning may result in visible smoke in and around project areas. Smoke may linger for a day or two following ignition, depending on weather conditions. Residents and visitors can monitor local air quality at AirNow’s Fire and Smoke Map - https://fire.airnow.gov/#7.79/41.526/-122.645.Following a widespread wetting rain or snow event that effectively ends the fire season, fire managers will transition to pile burning.
