Lassen National Forest:
Today, firefighting resources continued focused mop-up and tactical patrol around the fire's perimeter with an emphasis on hazard tree removal along roadways and near the fire perimeter's edge. Crews are also engaging in suppression repair to return remove any damage created by suppression efforts. There was no perimeter growth, however interior pockets of unburned fuels will continue to produce smoke and smolder, as well.
Tonight’s weather brings a return to normal levels of humidity recovery, aiding firefighters.
Overnight on the Park Fire, personnel are patrolling all perimeter lines assisted by the infrared capabilities of Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) and aircraft to locate remaining hot spots and extinguish them.
The #ParkFire has burned 113,736 acres on the Lassen National Forest.
CAL FIRE:
Today more favorable weather conditions limited threat of spotting and fire spread. Interior islands continued to burn within the fire perimeter.
Firefighters are improving and constructing direct and indirect lines in the northern parts of the fire area as well as removing dead trees and protecting the highways and communications infrastructure nearby.
In some areas, repopulations are occurring where it is safe to do so, with multiple orders also reduced to warnings recently. Please stay diligent while on the roads as crews and equipment may be working in the area.
