According to Lassen’s Office of Emergency Services Chief Eric Ewing the fire burned between one and two acres in vegetation along the north side of the river and the Bizz Johnson Trail.
As of 5:00p.m. firefighters had hose line around the fire and the threat to the city’s water lines leading from Cady Springs had been mitigated.
Agencies responding to the blaze included Standish/Litchfield Fire, Cal-Fire, Susan River FPD, the City of Susanville, Bureau of Land Management, the Lassen County Sheriff’s Office and Lassen OES.
