Size: 429,118 acres with 36% containment | Personnel: 6,243 

Lassen National Forest: 

Overnight on the #ParkFire, firefighters held the fire south and east of Turner Mountain through direct line construction with support from night capable aircraft. 

Slight improvements in weather conditions are predicted today, aiding the efforts of firefighters to find and extinguish hot spots along the fire perimeter. Crews continue direct tactics with information provided by Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) with infrared technology. A fleet of helicopters and air tankers are working in conjunction with ground resources to fully suppress the fire. 

The collaborative, risk-informed strategies, and tactics from all our partners are being implemented under unified authority. 

The #ParkFire has burned 113,600 acres on the Lassen National Forest. 

CAL FIRE: 

The Park Fire behavior moderated overnight which allowed crews to build more containment lines. The fire continues to burn actively near Mill Creek. Overnight relative humidity recovery helped limit fire activity in other areas of the fire. 

The fire is burning in heavy, receptive fuel beds. Crews are working around high heat and deep drainages. 

A slow cooling trend starts this weekend and into next week as temperatures fall to near or even a few degrees below seasonal norms. Today, slightly lower temperatures and higher humidity may help limit fire spread in some areas. 

Sunday afternoon there could be some southwest wind gusts between 20 – 25 mph which could challenge fire suppression in some areas.
