Cooler Weather Doesn’t Mean Fire Danger Is Over!

Siskiyou County has seen cooler temperatures and some rainfall, but residential debris burning remains suspended!

CAL FIRE Siskiyou Unit is currently discussing when the burn permit suspension may be lifted. An official announcement will be made once a decision is reached.

Even with cooler weather, dry vegetation and wind can still create dangerous fire conditions.

*Continue maintaining defensible space.
*Clear leaves and debris from roofs and gutters.
*Hold off on burning debris until restrictions are lifted.

A little rain doesn’t mean it’s safe to burn!

Thank you for helping keep Siskiyou County fire safe!

𝐖𝐈𝐋𝐃𝐅𝐈𝐑𝐄 𝐒𝐌𝐎𝐊𝐄 & 𝐀𝐈𝐑 𝐐𝐔𝐀𝐋𝐈𝐓𝐘 𝐔𝐏𝐃𝐀𝐓𝐄

As of this morning, Siskiyou County’s overall Air Quality Index is approximately 26 𝐆𝐎𝐎𝐃 in the Yreka Area but 𝐔𝐍𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐋𝐓𝐇𝐘 in the Tulelake area. However, conditions vary by location, with some western communities reporting 𝐌𝐎𝐃𝐄𝐑𝐀𝐓𝐄 air quality. The Oregon wildfire smoke can move quickly and cause conditions to change throughout the day.

Residents- especially children, older adults, pregnant individuals, and people with heart or respiratory conditions- should monitor local conditions and reduce outdoor activity if smoke becomes heavy or causes symptoms.

If you smell smoke or see ash:

• Close windows and doors.
• Set vehicle and home air systems to recirculate.
• Avoid strenuous outdoor activity.
• Wear a properly fitted N95 if extended outdoor exposure is unavoidable.

Check conditions near you using the AirNow. Additional guidance is available from Siskiyou County Air Pollution Control.

Smoke conditions can change rapidly; know the AQI before heading outside.

There is no need to be alarmed. There are currently no active fires in Siskiyou County.

The smoke visible throughout parts of Siskiyou County is drifting into the area from the East Evans Creek Fire in Oregon.

Please continue to stay informed through official sources and remain alert to changing conditions.
