The Park Fire, which has burned extensively across Butte and Tehama Counties, has reached 45% containment, covering 429,263 acres. Despite containment progress, some evacuation orders remain in place. In response to the ongoing fire, Lassen Volcanic National Park has been closed, with significant road closures impacting access. Crews are currently focused on mopping up hazardous areas, but adverse terrain poses challenges to firefighting efforts.
A portion of Upper Bidwell Park is set to partially reopen after thorough assessments determined the removal of hazardous trees along affected roads. This reopening includes several recreational areas and amenities but leaves specific trails and roads closed for continued safety. The proactive efforts by the city reflect a balance between safety measures and restoring public access to natural spaces.
