A sheriff’s deputy carries the remains of a McKinney fire victim from a destroyed home in Klamath National Forest. The McKinney fire, which has killed four people, has destroyed 132 structures including 87 homes as it scorched nearly 60,000 acres in the Klamath National Forest, officials said Friday. In the last 24 hours, officials with the Klamath National Forest said the fire had burned about 300 acres, a significant slowdown after it had burned through 59,666 in the last seven days. “We did see some growth in the fire,” said Dennis Burns, fire behavior analyst for the U.S. Forest Service during a briefing Friday. Officials noted at Friday night’s meeting that after storms produced lightning strikes in the area, new fire starts will require crews and other resources, but firefighters on the McKinney fire remain dedicated to full suppression, they said.
