The Siskiyou County blaze, dubbed the Head Fire, was one of at least 19 fires — most of them tiny — that erupted in Klamath National Forest as thunderstorms brought lightning and downdrafts.
HAMBURG, Calif. — Rural areas near California’s border with Oregon were under evacuation orders Wednesday after gusty winds from a thunderstorm sent a lightning-sparked wildfire racing through national forest lands, authorities said.
An overflight late Tuesday measured the fire at 4.2 square miles , slightly smaller than initial estimates after it grew rapidly in just a few hours. A forest statement said fire behavior also decreased during the night. State Route 96 was also closed, along with a section of the Pacific Crest Trail north to the Oregon border. Smith said there were dozens and possibly hundreds of hikers on the trail.
