Chico, California, United States
Park Fire
Wildfire Status:
The Park Fire, which ignited on July 24, 2024, near Bidwell Municipal Park in Chico, California, has spread rapidly, affecting over 429,603 acres across the Ishi Wilderness and into Lassen National Forest, as well as private and state lands. As of now, the fire is fully contained, having achieved 100% perimeter containment. The fire management efforts are being overseen by the National Incident Management Organization Team 3, focused primarily on suppression repair activities to mitigate any remaining hazards.
Fire agencies are currently engaged in ongoing resource protection and hazard tree mitigation to ensure public safety in the aftermath of the fire. Minimal smoldering is reported, and while isolated heat sources persist, sustained active combustion is not expected. The area has a variety of fuel types, including dense grasses, brush, and coniferous trees, which were affected by prior precipitation events, reducing the immediate fire risk but necessitating continued monitoring.
As authorities work on post-fire recovery, several areas within the Lassen National Forest and Lassen Volcanic National Park remain closed to the public to facilitate these efforts and ensure safety. Fire agencies are committed to addressing any threats to public safety resulting from the Park Fire, with planned actions including continuous patrols and resource protection over the coming months. For further updates and detailed information, the Lassen National Forest and Park Fire Incident Information are available through social media and dedicated links.
