New Lightning Fires on Lassen National Forest SUSANVILLE, Calif.,August 18, 2020 – The Lassen National Forest (LNF) has detected fourteen fires that resulted from yesterday's lightning. There are currently nine fires on the Almanor Ranger District. The largest of these fires, the L-4, is one-half acre in size and located in the Ishi Wilderness, approximately two miles south of Black Rock Campground. Due to this fire's remoteness, smokejumpers were used for gaining quick access to the area. The rest of the fires on the Almanor District are near or north of California Highway 36. Six of these fires are contained.
The Hat Creek Ranger District has five fires. The biggest one is near the Thousand Lakes Wilderness, is 1.2 acres in size and has a fire line around it. Firefighters are currently working to contain two smaller fires on the Hat Creek District and an additional two have been contained. Fire managers on the LNF anticipate additional fires will be discovered in the coming days because of the high number of strikes that were received across the forest.
"We are using lookouts, patrols, and aerial detection to identify any others still out there," said LNF Forest Supervisor Deb Bumpus. "Local crews remain engaged on all fires and continue to progress toward containment and control.”
The public can help firefighters by eliminating human-caused wildfires. Please remain vigilant with all activities that could spark a wildfire and adhere to current fire restrictions. To learn more about fire restrictions, visit https://www.fs.usda.gov/Internet/FSE_DOCUMENTS/FSEPRD746207.pdf.
