Incident Update Park Fire

Situation Summary

The fire is actively burning in heavy, receptive fuel beds. This allows the fire to expand rapidly. Warm, windy, and dry conditions will increase risk of extreme fire activity, similar to what the fire has done previously. There will be higher temperatures and lower humidities today.

The current acreage is 353,194 total:

• Butte County: 52,850
• Tehama County: 300,344

Fire Integrated Real-Time Intelligence System Program (FIRIS) aircraft is flying over the fire, mapping acreage which will allow for periodic acreage updates.

Threats to Highway and Major Roads: Portions of Highway 32, 99, and 36 and Cohasset Road. Highway 32, and Cohasset Road are currently closed and are impacting potential evacuation routes, and commuter traffic for people who work in surrounding communities. We ask that the public continues to be diligent and prepared. 

Damage inspection teams continue to identify and verify structures that have been damaged or destroyed. The numbers of structures reported are expected to adjust as the team verifies impacts.
