The Klamathon wildfire burning on the California-Oregon border is now 30 percent contained. Moderate fire behavior is expected Monday morning, though a change in winds Monday afternoon could change that status, authorities say.

The fire is burning 35,250 acres, with three firefighter injuries and one civilian death. More than 800 structures are threatened by the blaze, while 81 have been destroyed and 12 have been damaged, according to an official update.

The fire has spread into Oregon, and areas in Jackson County have been placed under Level 3, "Go," evacuation notice, which means residents need to leave immediately as danger is current or imminent. Other areas have been placed at the Level 2, "Be Set," notice, meaning there is significant danger to the area and people there should relocate or be ready to evacuate at a moment's notice.

The fire started Thursday afternoon in Siskiyou County, California, and briefly closed down Interstate 5 on Thursday evening, though the interstate is back open in both directions.

It is unknown when the fire will be fully contained.
