At approximately 4:05 p.m. on August 27, 2026, Klamath County Fire District 1 was dispatched to a reported vegetation fire in the area behind Home Depot.
Fire District 1 crews arrived on scene 4 minutes and 19 seconds after dispatch and found an active fire burning in approximately one-half acre of grass, brush, and low-level trees, with flames reaching approximately 20 feet in height threatening several vehicles and residences.
Klamath County Fire District 1 responded with 15 personnel, including four engine companies and two command staff. Crews worked quickly to contain the fire and prevent further spread. Klamath County Fire District 1 was assisted by Kingsley Field Fire Department.
The cause of the fire is under investigation.
Klamath County Fire District 1 would like to remind the public that we are still in fire season and fire danger remains extreme. Despite the approaching end of summer, vegetation remains extremely dry and conditions are favorable for rapid fire growth.
Please continue to follow all current fire restrictions and use extreme caution with any outdoor activity that could produce heat, sparks, or flames. Be mindful when operating equipment, parking or driving vehicles in dry vegetation, and participating in other outdoor activities that could unintentionally start a fire.
A small spark can quickly become a significant wildfire under current conditions.
