Size: 429,259 acres with 38% containment | Personnel: 5,805 

Lassen National Forest: 

Last night firefighters held the #ParkFire within the current perimeter using direct attack on any flames near control lines supported by night-capable aircraft. An extensive “hose lay” is in place extending hose from the engine to the fire allowing delivery of water safely and effectively to aid firefighters. 

Today, firefighters will aggressively take direct action on any new perimeter growth. Efforts to maintain and improve existing lines by removing hazardous trees and mop-up are also underway. Mop-up is a phase of fire suppression that involves removing or extinguishing all burning or smoldering material along containment lines. 

Unified partners have converged firefighters to completely suppress the #ParkFire. 

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

CAL FIRE: 

Burnout of heavy dead fuels and interior islands continued through the night. The fire remained confined within perimeter lines. 

Incremental improvements in weather continue with slightly cooler weather and higher humidities are trending and will continue this week. 

Firefighters continue to construct direct and indirect lines for fire suppression in some areas as well as mop-up and fire suppression repair in others. Some parts of the fire are safe for repopulations while others are still in evacuation orders and warnings.
