California’s McKinney Fire has burned more than 60,000 acres
since it first ignited just south of the Oregon border late last
month and is suspected of killing tens of thousands of fish in
the Klamath River, officials said Saturday.

The Karuk Tribe said in a statement that multiple species of
fish were found belly up Friday near Happy Camp, California,
along the main stem of the Klamath River.

Tribal fisheries biologists believe a flash flood caused by
heavy rains over the burn area caused a massive debris flow that
entered the river at or near Humbug Creek and McKinney Creek,
which dropped oxygen levels in the Klamath River to zero on
Wednesday and Thursday nights, according to the tribe.

The tribe said it believes the impact area is limited to 10 or
20 miles of river.

Photos from the Karuk taken about 20 miles downstream from the
flash flood in the tributary of Seiad Creek showed several dozen
dead fish floating amid sticks and other debris in thick, brown
water along the river bank.

The blaze erupted on July 29 and has become one of California’s
largest wildfires, burning more than 90 square miles in the
Klamath National Forest. Gusting winds brought on by
thunderstorms stoked the fire’s rapid spread.

The fire has destroyed more than 100 buildings, including
residences, and killed four people. Three of the four victims
were allegedly from Klamath River, a scenic town of 200 people.

The fire was 40% contained as of Saturday night. More than 3,500
fire personnel were involved in battling the blaze.
