Early this morning, Lassen County deputies responded to the old mill property on Riverside Drive after reports of a fire. Within minutes, the structure was reported to be fully involved.
This is a hard loss for Susanville. For many in our community, the old mill was more than just a landmark. It was part of the history and identity of this town.
We are grateful there have been no reported injuries to civilians or first responders.
Thank you to all fire personnel, law enforcement, public works, LMUD, and assisting agencies who responded during the early morning hours and worked to protect the surrounding area.
If anyone has information regarding how this fire may have started, please contact Lassen County Dispatch at (530) 257-6121.
Please continue to use caution in the area as crews may still be working nearby.
