Park Fire update — 7:02 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 27

According to CalFire, the Park Fire has burned 429,603 acres in Butte, Tehama, Shasta and Plumas counties. It is 89 percent contained.

Status update
The Park Fire is being managed under Unified Command with CalFire and the Lassen National Forest.

Over the next several days CalFire Incident Management Team 6 will begin transitioning management of the State Responsibility Area of the fire to the CalFire Tehama-Glenn Unit local Type 3 team. The Federal Responsibility Area of the fire will be managed by the CIMT Southwest Team 2, with a planned in-brief on Aug. 28.

Today fire suppression repair teams have resumed implementing their planned areas for suppression repair. No fire activity was observed across the fire footprint. Afternoon humidity fell to around 20 percent and will continue to decline. A warmer and drier weather pattern has begun to dry vegetation making it susceptible to ignition. Crews continue to monitor the area for any heat sources that may reignite and continued to remove fire weakened or hazardous trees that may fall unexpectedly.

A safety risk still remains in the fire area associated with heavy equipment operating near personnel for fire suppression repair.

A traffic safety concern exists regarding a large quantity of fire resource traffic on Highway 36 (Antelope Boulevard), in and around the Tehama Fairgrounds and Antelope Elementary School. Continued traffic measures were implemented during peak morning hours.

As you return home from evacuations, remember to keep an evacuation plan with your family. For more information on emergency readiness, please visit ready.gov.
