Size: 429,263 acres with 40% containment | Personnel: 5,579

Lassen National Forest:

Overnight the Park Fire remained within the current perimeter with personnel patrolling and locating remaining hot spots around the fire’s edge. 

Today’s weather brings moderate levels of daytime humidity with seasonally normal temperatures. These weather conditions give opportunity for firefighters to safely remove hazard tress and improve fire lines.

Firefighters will actively engage the entire perimeter to improve containment lines, take aggressive efforts to remove hazard trees along roadways and the fire perimeter, and continue suppression repair. Interior pockets of unburned fuels continue to produce smoke and smolder, resulting in hazy conditions over the area.

The #ParkFire has burned 113,744 acres on the Lassen National Forest.

CAL FIRE:

There was minimal fire activity through the night. Firefighters are currently working on mop-up and tactical patrol operations to work towards containment and to prepare communities to be safe for repopulations. They are working to mitigate smokes, suppress spot fires, remove hazardous snags, and conduct suppression repair as well as improving both direct and indirect fire lines to prevent any potential flare-ups. 

Today, slight increase in winds is expected over the region to the north. This week, seasonably warm and dry afternoons will be followed by nights with moderate to good humidity recovery.

As crews and equipment continue to work in the area, please remain cautious while traveling in the area.
