KLAMATH NATIONAL FOREST – The Shelly Fire continues to burn in the Klamath National Forest in Siskiyou County.
It’s now more than 10,000 acres and for the first time we’re seeing some containment.
The fire started a week ago Wednesday in the Marble Mountain wilderness.
Monday, crews were supported from the air by helicopters in strengthening containment lines, and in response to small runs the fire was making along the Pacific Crest Trail.
Now, firefighters are continuing with line enhancement efforts and protecting the local communities through structure defense.
The fire is now one percent contained.
In their morning update posted to Facebook, Cal fire’s incident commander talked about the hard work being done by everyone involved.
We’ve been able to do a lot of good work, and when I say we I mean the people on the ground there putting in that hard work day in day and throughout the night.
