The Park Fire burning in Northern California had not grown in 24 hours, with containment at 39%, majority of fire activity in Tehama County, and subdued behavior due to higher humidity.
Jan Smoots from Cal Fire anticipates calmer winds reducing spot fire potential and shorter burn periods, stating a favorable outlook for mop-up operations and containment.
Spot fires are a concern for firefighters, as they occur outside containment lines, prompting mop-up operations to ensure full extinguishing of embers and smoldering material.
Evacuation orders in some areas of Tehama County persist, but Butte County's orders were lifted, while the fire has also impacted Plumas and Shasta counties with remaining evacuation warnings.
