Lassen National Forest:
Today, the #ParkFire continued to experience heightened activity due to adverse weather conditions and dry fuels. Firefighters employed direct suppression tactics supported by aircraft wherever feasible.
Crews and aircraft will continue their efforts overnight to hold the fire within the perimeter. The fire continues to be fought with a strong and coordinated response from all our partners. The #ParkFire has burned 107,116 acres on the Lassen National Forest.
CAL FIRE:
The Park Fire is burning primarily in dry, thick timber with heavy dead and down fuels. Low relative humidity contributed to significant fire behavior today, including slope-aligned runs and frequent spotting.
Poor humidity recovery will allow for active burning and possible extreme fire behavior throughout the night.
Fire crews continue to battle steep drainages and high heat, working tirelessly to construct direct and indirect line in their firefighting efforts.
Repopulation is occurring in the lower portion of the fire. Please remain diligent of crews and equipment working in the area.
