The 20-acre Klamath Hills fire was reported before Noon Wednesday burning 12 miles south of Klamath Falls; preliminary reports indicate lightning caused the fire. Six fire engines responded, with three air tankers and two helicopters providing support to two crews. Full containment of the fire is expected Thursday. Two hand crews remain at the fire Thursday for mop-up operations and to monitor for potential flare-ups.
