KLAMATH RIVER -- Fire crews were working amid thunderstorms early Friday that brought light precipitation along with the possibility of dry lightning that could spark new blazes in the fire ravaged Klamath National Forest.
Forecasters have also warned that spiking temperatures and plunging humidity levels could create conditions for further wildfire growth. At the fire's southeastern corner, evacuation orders for sections of Yreka, home to about 7,800 people, were downgraded to warnings, allowing residents to return home but with a caution that the situation remained dangerous.
The blaze broke out July 29 and has charred nearly 92 square miles of forestland, left tinder-dry by drought. More than 100 homes and other buildings have burned and four bodies have been found, including two in a burned car in a driveway.
