On Wednesday the fire continued to expand east from Klamath into Lake County. 2,000 residents were under some form of evacuation notice according to emergency managers and several thousand structures were considered threatened by the fire.
After a week of uncontrolled growth, firefighters had reached 5% containment.
Sixty-four members of the Oregon National Guard have arrived in Klamath County to help law enforcement with evacuations and road closures, and to keep people out of burned areas.
“We are usually the last in and the first out,” says Major Stephen Bomar, director of public affairs for the Oregon Military Department. “When all other state and commercial resources are limited, that’s when the Oregon National Guard is usually requested.”
