The Gap Fire continues to burn on the Klamath National Forest in northern California. As of early the morning of September 09, the fire is 31,664 acres and 85% contained. Containment lines set up by firefighters continue to hold and the increase in fire damage is due to islands of vegetation deliberately set to burn fuel inside the perimeter of the containment line.
