Green Fire (CASHF)

Wildfire Status:

The Green Fire, currently burning in Shasta County, California, has grown to 545 acres since its ignition on July 1, 2025, at 9:37 p.m., following a series of thunderstorms and lightning strikes that impacted the area. As of the latest updates, the fire remains uncontained, with 0% of its perimeter secured. Firefighters are employing a full suppression strategy in challenging terrain characterized by steep, rocky conditions. Their objectives include keeping the fire contained within specified boundaries: north of Pit River, southeast of Sulanharas Creek, and southwest of Fenders Ferry Road.

Fire response efforts involve approximately 115 personnel who are actively engaging in firefighting operations. Given the difficult conditions posed by dry fuels, high temperatures, and low humidity, which have exacerbated fire growth, helicopters are providing critical support by dropping water on areas that are otherwise inaccessible to ground crews. Additionally, the incident command is set to transition to the California Interagency Incident Management Team 10, which will take over operations on July 7.

Weather conditions remain a significant concern, as warm and dry weather persists, with breezy ridgetop winds gusting up to 15 mph. These factors are contributing to the ongoing risk of fire spread. Firefighters will continue to monitor the surrounding areas for potential holdover fires resulting from the recent storms. The public is advised to avoid areas where firefighting crews are active to ensure their safety and facilitate ongoing suppression efforts.
