FIRE UPDATES - brought to you by Southern Oregon Subaru Volvo Mitsubishi BUTLER FIRE in Siskiyou County in Northern California. The Butler fire is a previously reported incident. It began in late July as the result of human activity. The exact cause is still being investigated. The fire had reached a very inactive state and was drawing to a close, but with the hot weather recently, it came roaring back to life. It is burning on the Klamath National Forest near the small community of the Forks of the Salmon. This fire is also known as the Forks Complex now. However, the Butler Fire is the only active fire causing any concern in the complex. The other two fires are fully contained and in mop up and rehabilitation mode. The Butler Fire is 70 percent contained this morning with full containment expected by October 1st. The change in the weather has really knocked fire activity down. There was minimal fire activity yesterday. On Somes Mountain crews continue to monitor surface backing fire from firing operations creating a deeper fire line. As firing and rehabilitation operations are completed excess personnel are being released daily. Controlled traffic continues for Salmon River Road. The road is open for down river traffic (toward Somes Bar) at the half hour and open for upriver travel (toward Forks of Salmon) at the top of the hour.. Resources committed to the fire are; 6 20 person crews 2 engines 3 helicopters Water tenders and bulldozers are also working this fire, but do not know for sure how many of each.
