Size: 429,263 acres with 39% containment | Personnel: 5,638 

Lassen National Forest: 

The ongoing work of firefighters on the ground, with support from tactical aviation resources, has kept the Park Fire within its existing footprint. There was no new growth on the Park Fire and any remaining heat within the fire’s edge continues to be eliminated through the firefighters’ effort to remove or extinguish all burning or smoldering material along containment lines. Crew sand heavy equipment have also worked to remove hazardous trees along roadways and the fire perimeter, and continue with suppression repair efforts, or returning the disturbed areas to as natural a state as possible. 

Smoke will be visible in the area as unburned fuels within the fire perimeter are consumed. 

Overnight, firefighters will strengthen fire lines and patrol the fire perimeter with supported from infrared data showing areas of heat from Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS). 

The #ParkFire has burned 113,736 acres on the Lassen National Forest. 

CAL FIRE: 

The fire held within its current perimeter today despite stronger winds throughout the day. The fire is primarily burning in mature timber with dead and down fuels being the primary driver and interior islands continue to burn within the perimeter. 

Cooler, higher humidity and less wind will have a favorable impact on fuels in the lower elevations. Suppression efforts continue throughout the fire from both ground and air support.
