California wildfires: Three firefighters injured by falling tree in Siskiyou County
Three firefighters were injured by a falling tree while battling the Butler Fire in Siskiyou County, the U.S. Forest Service said.
The firefighters were taken to Redding for medical care after the tree fell around 2:15 p.m. Friday, the forest service said. Updates on their conditions were not immediately available.
The Butler Fire, which began near the Salmon River on July 3, has forced evacuations in the Six Rivers and Klamath national forests. The wildfire is part of the Orleans Complex, which also includes the Red Fire burning since July 6 in Del Norte County.
