Park Fire_ Incident Update on 07_29_2024 at 8_03 AM _ CAL FIRE

 

Situation Summary
The fire stayed active well into the night, especially on the ridges and upper slopes. During the early morning hours an increase in humidity caused the fire activity to moderate. Through the night, smoke blanketed the fire area, also causing some dampening of the activity.

Southwest winds are expected today, along with low fuel moistures and fire receptive fuels, which will be a factor in increased fire activity throughout the day. Fire crews will continue to re-open control lines from previous fires, where applicable, as well as establishing new lines and continuing to strengthen existing fire lines.

The current acreage is 368,256 total:

Butte County: 52,859 acres
Tehama County: 315,397 acres
Fire Integrated Real-Time Intelligence System Program (FIRIS) aircraft is flying over the fire, mapping acreage which will allow for periodic acreage updates.

We ask that the public continue to be diligent and prepared due to erratic fire activity.

Damage inspection teams have completed nearly half of their inspections within the current fire perimeter and 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.
