Containment of the McKinney Fire — which has burned 60,271 acres while killing four people living along Highway 96 in Siskiyou County — increased to 40% on Sunday morning.
Firefighters this weekend continued to increase containment of the deadly McKinney Fire near the California-Oregon state line, though gusty winds and dry weather are expected to test crews further Sunday as they work to snuff the state’s largest fire of 2022.
On Saturday night, crews continued to make progress cutting lines around the fire, said Rick Carhart, a Cal Fire spokesman.
