Morning of Tuesday, August 6, 2024

Size: 414,042 acres with 34% containment; Personnel: 6,586 

Lassen National Forest: 

Today, smoke will be visible across the Park Fire and from surrounding communities.  Active fire behavior is expected due to dry weather conditions combined with low humidity recovery overnight. Yesterday, the fire was active in Mill Creek drainage, pushed up the north rim and spotted Tamarack Road into the South Fork Antelope Creek drainage in several places. Crews and aircraft are working aggressively to slow and contain fire movement with direct attack where safe to do so.  

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

CAL FIRE: 

The Park Fire continues to burn actively in some areas. The overnight humidity recovery was very poor.  The fire is well-established in the Mill and Antelope Creek drainages where it will continue to build heat and be resistant to control. New evacuations were ordered in Tehama County in Zones TEH-718, TEH-722, TEH-724. Critically low fuel moistures, steep canyons, long drive times and daily spot fires have caused difficulty in suppressing the fire spread. Temperatures will continue to be hot and dry throughout the day, with primary growth aligning with the topography to the north and east. The fire is expected to continue to challenge crews until more favorable conditions arrive later in the week.
