Size: 414,890 acres with 34% containment; Personnel: 6,593  

Lassen National Forest: 

Due to critically high temperatures and low relative humidity, the #ParkFire was active through the upper Mill Creek drainage area and crossed CA 172 due to critically high temperatures and low relative humidity. Crews and aircraft aggressively work to keep fire as small as possible within the planning area. 

Tomorrow, high temperatures with low relative humidity are predicted. 

Unified partners have converged over 6,500 firefighters to fire the #ParkFire 

The Park Fire has burned 98,048 acres of the Lassen National Forest. 

CAL FIRE: 

Increased fire behavior has been observed near the Mill Creek canyon. Large plumes were visible from Big Bend in Mill Creek. The fire is burning actively, featuring slope-aligned runs and spotting. The fire will remain active overnight due to high temperatures, and no humidity recovery. It consumes dead and down fuels as well as timber. Crews continue to engage offensively in parts of the fire when it is possible to build direct lines, reinforce lines, and mop-up. 

Repopulations are occurring where it is safe to do so, with multiple evacuation orders and warnings reduced recently in Butte, Shasta, and Tehama counties. Please remain diligent while crews and equipment continue working in these areas.
