Siskiyou Daily News
Careful plans are being laid to help protect Yreka from catastrophic wildfires. On Tuesday, July 20, the city council approved a plan presented by the Yreka Area Fire Safe Council to address the following challenges:
Access-ingress/egress, including road width and adequate pullouts
Roadside vegetation clearance
Signing of existing residence(s) on side roads
Clear marking of fire hydrant/water sources
The fire season has the potential to be one of the worst ever, said Fire Safe Council representative Jay Perkins, with currently conditions like those normally found in late August and September.
