In Division BE of the ParkFire, located in the northeast sector and managed by CAL FIRE CZU San Mateo-Santa Cruz Unit, firefighting crews are intensifying their efforts amidst challenging conditions. On Tuesday, the scene was punctuated by the presence of Tanker 210, a vital asset borrowed from Australia, prominently marked as "Bomber 210."

Glenwood Crews 1 & 4 from CAL FIRE CZU were particularly focused on containing the fire in the Mill Creek area of Tehama County. As temperatures rise and the region experiences dry weather, fire activity has escalated, with smoke columns visible from miles away. These plumes, comprised of hot gases, smoke, and ash, offer critical insights into fire behavior and intensity.

The ParkFire has already scorched 414,890 acres and containment efforts are currently at 34%. Over 6,593 personnel are tirelessly engaged in containment operations around the clock, prioritizing community safety above all else. In light of these challenging circumstances, authorities urge residents to stay connected with loved ones, neighbors, and local resources for support and preparedness.
