Twenty-two fires that ignited in early July on the Klamath National Forest were contained as of July 3 and are no longer burning.
Most of the fires were started by lightning, CAL FIRE spokeswoman Suzanne Brady said.
The fires ranged from one-quarter of an acre to 5 acres.
With warming temperatures and increased winds, a higher chance of “sleeper fires” (a smoldering fire ignited by lighting and cooled by rain that can spread as conditions dry) could start to appear, Brady said. As new fires are discovered or new lightning strikes occur, resources will respond accordingly. More resources have been ordered to meet emerging needs.
Landowners are advised to look over their property after lightning has passed and immediately report any fires to 9-1-1. The public is asked to continue to report any smoke, especially in remote areas.
