Pending continuing favorable weather and fuels conditions, the Siskiyou PBA together with our partners from the Mid Klamath Watershed Council, the Scott River Watershed Council, the Shasta Valley Resource Conservation District, Yreka Fire Department, Cross Contour LLC, CAL FIRE Siskiyou Unit, and the US Forest Service Klamath National Forest, will be implementing an eight acre pasture burn in east Yreka, along Montague Road/Highway 3 on Wednesday, June 10, 2026. Ignition is planned to start at approximately 0930 and be completed by early afternoon. The objective of this burn is to to increase resilience to wildfire, reduce invasive plant species, and restore native grasses. This prescribed burn will also create an opportunity for different organizations and volunteers to work together in reducing hazardous fuels and improving community safety. Please watch for fire vehicles and personnel and reduce speeds along the Montague Road/Highway 3 between the Yreka Truckstop turn off and the junction with the Yreka Ager Road.
