BOLES FIRE UPDATE: Blaze in Weed 20 percent contained Comment MailTribune.com Writer Posted Sep. 16, 2014 @ 8:56 am Updated Sep 16, 2014 at 2:31 PM Posted Sep. 16, 2014 @ 8:56 am Updated Sep 16, 2014 at 2:31 PM » RELATED CONTENT • 'I was terrified' • Weed residents begin to assess damage as crews make progr... • Weed fire damage rises to 150 structures » Social News Updated 9:30 a.m. WEED, Calif. — A fire that has burned more than 100 structures and forced more than 1,500 area residents to flee is now 20 percent contained as fire officials and residents assess the damage and highway travelers look for optional routes. A news release from the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection says the Boles fire, located in the Boles Creek and Weed area has grown to 375 acres, a 50-acre increase over the past 12 hours. "It definitely has slowed down," CalFire public information technician Alyssa Smith said. "They are getting somewhat of a hold." Three people have been injured by the fire, although officials could not confirm whether they were firefighters or area residents. Highway 97 remains closed at Weed, the release says, but Interstate 5 is back open, per the California Department of Transportation website. Evacuation orders remain in effect for Weed, Carrick and Lake Shastina. An evacuation center has been set up at the Siskiyou County Fairgrounds in Yreka. The fire roared to life Monday afternoon, gaining vicious momentum and sprinting through town as it torched numerous homes and buildings, including at least one church and Roseburg Forest Products mill buildings. Its cause remains under investigation. The blaze has drawn 1,068 personnel to the front lines, with assistance from 108 fire engines, seven helicopters, 28 dozers and nine water tenders. A fire weather watch will be in effect for much of the affected area from noon to 9 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 17, the National Weather Service reported. The coverage area includes Siskiyou County from the Cascades east and south to Mount Shasta and Modoc County, except for Surprise Valley. Strong winds of up to 25 mph with 40 mph gusts and dry terrain prompted the warning. — Ryan Pfeil MailTribune.com Writer Posted Sep. 16, 2014 @ 8:56 am Updated Sep 16, 2014 at 2:31 PM » Comment or view comments Reader Reaction » STAY INFORMED Email NewsLetter Sign Up Today Sign up for our newsletter and have the top headlines from your community delivered right to your inbox. calendar Connect with MailTribune.com Facebook Twitter RSS Back to top Reader Services Reader Services Home Subscriptions Subscriber controls Contact us Submissions Photos Events Letters to the editor Corrections Announcements Obituaries Story ideas Since you asked Alerts Email Alerts RSS Feeds Text Alerts Advertise Media Kit Home Products and services Ad rates Advertising contacts Mail Tribune Daily Tidings The Nickel Shop Our Valley Blogs Stay Informed Email newsletter Sign Up Today Sign up for our newsletter and have the top headlines from your community delivered right to your inbox.
