Shelly Fire now 48% contained
Updated at 9:15 a.m. -- The Shelly Fire is now 15,477 acres and 48% contained, according to a news release from the Klamath National Forest. "Little to no growth is anticipated within the Shelly Fire's current perimeter," the release said. "Though fuels continue to smolder in isolated areas around Kidder Creek and the area north of Babs Lake, these pose little threat to control lines. Shelly Fire operations will begin reducing the footprint of personnel and equipment and transition into fire suppression repair. While these efforts continue, drivers in the area should remain alert for fire personnel and heavy equipment on or near the roadways."
