Park Fire update — 8:48 a.m. Sunday, Aug. 25

The Park Fire has burned 429,603 acres in Butte, Tehama, Shasta and Plumas counties. It is 78 percent contained.

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

No fire activity was observed due to rain showers across the fire footprint. A transition to warmer and drier conditions begins today. All areas of the incident are in recovery phase, conducting mop up operations, removing hazard trees, and responding to service calls.

Suppression repair has been delayed this operational period due to recent rainfall and ground saturation. A safety risk still remains in the fire area associated with heavy equipment operating near personnel for fire suppression repair.

Damage inspectors were able to survey lands that were previously inaccessible.

Damage inspection is now complete and the number of destroyed structures is final.

All roads are now open, we ask that you remain cautious while driving as crews continue to work in the area.
