In Siskiyou County the Klamath National Forest blaze grew to about 500 acres as strong winds hampered containment efforts. Fire officials said the wind-driven line running along ridges from 2,400 feet to over 6,500 feet complicated tactics and required air support to reach the flames. Nearby in Humboldt County a Bull Creek fire near Eureka burned over 1,800 acres as 300 workers fought the spread.
