Fire

Fire activity has greatly decreased over the Yeti Fire, but there remain some pockets of active burning and heavy fuels will continue to smolder for quite some time. The SRF Lightning Complex near Willow Creek continues to have active fire behavior.

Smoke

Smoke from the Yeti Fire will remain heavy in Seiad Valley today with noticeably less smoke expected in Klamath River and Happy Camp. Orleans and Forks of Salmon may experience smoke from either the Yeti Fire or the SRF Lightning Complex, but air quality is expected to be mostly in the Moderate in both locations. Heavy smoke from the SRF Lightning Complex is expected to impact nearby communities, with Hazardous air quality much of the day in

Burnt Ranch. Periods of Very Unhealthy are also likely in Hyampom. Light onshore wind is expected to limit the amount of smoke impacting Weitchpec, Hoopa, and Willow Creek.
