The McKinney Fire started July 29 and within a workweek became the state's largest blaze this year.

On Friday, federal officials put the fire to bed with their final written update amid no growth and 95% containment.

The update from the U.S. Forest Service came as local authorities released the identities of the four people killed in the blaze, which burned 60,392 acres.

The Siskiyou County Sheriff’s Office on Friday identified the deceased as Kathleen Shoopman, 73; Charles Kays, 79; Judith Kays, 82; and John Cogan, 76; all of Klamath River.

DNA and dental records had to be used to identify remains, which were found in a vehicle and in two separate homes, after a firestorm ripped through Klamath River, a community of a few hundred residents where few structures survived, sheriff's and fire officials said.

One of the four fatalities, Shoopman, was previously identified as a McKinney fatality by the U.S. Forest Service, which said she was a longtime employee known for working at fire lookout stations in the region.

Neighbors also noted that the Kays' were a married couple well-known in the neighborhood.

The sheriff's office didn't say how the four died.
