8.18 miles from Seiad Valley at its closest point There are active thunderstorms in the vicinity and cameras have shown increasing fire activity. All evacuation warnings and orders remain in place.

Via Siskiyou County Sheriff’s Office: “Per Pacific Crest Trail Association: "The PCT is being closed from Etna Summit at mile 1600.8 north to the California/Oregon border at mile 1692.9. The most significant activity is on the Head Fire near Seiad Valley." #HeadFire#SiskiyouCounty
Watch Duty: "Air Attack reporting the fire is running up to the ridge w/extreme fire behavior and no current opportunities to catch it. He concurs that evacuation orders are urgent & priority should be getting people out of there. He is also seeing additional spot fires down river."" That means: evacuate, safely, and get out of the way. #HeadFire#SiskiyouCounty#Siskiyou#Yreka
The Watch Duty folks can't say it, but I can... #HeadFire - get out ASAP. Mass evacuations recommended and priority to get people to safety. "extreme behavior". (i.e. get out of Dodge!) #SiskiyouCounty
