People north, east and south of Willow Creek should either have already evacuated or be prepared to evacuate as firefighters continue trying to contain a fire that started late last week in the Six Rivers National Forest.
“Last year’s snow event left a lot of trees dead and down on the ground,” the release states. “If ignited, these can result in fire behavior that is more substantial than what would usually be anticipated this time of year.” Horse Linto Creek Road at Saddle Lane, Country Club Road at Kimtu Bridge and Friday Ridge Road at Highway 299 have been closed, but remain open for people evacuating the area. State Route 299 was open to traffic as of 1 p.m. Monday.
