Info

Lassen County’s climate, with its warm and dry summers, contributes to low relative humidity and low fuel moistures. When combined with high fuel loading, the potential for a catastrophic fire event is significant. There are three weather conditions specific to Lassen County that may cause the ignition and/or impact the behavior of wildland fires: (Reference #6) 1. As high air pressure systems move eastward, unstable moist air from the south can move north and northwest along the eastern crest of the Sierra Mountains bringing thunderstorms. These systems occur when there is an unstable southeastern or southern flow aloft, or a closed low pressure system aloft, and most commonly in mid to late summer. The thunderstorms and the associated lightning, with or without precipitation, is a significant source of fire starts. 2. High winds out of the southwest that occur due to deep vertical air mixing over the warm, high terrain. These winds can become steady up to 20 MPH and gust up to 30-40 MPH if they are associated with an upcoming dry cold front or trough. This occurs most commonly in late Spring, and in late August to mid October. 3. Hot, dry conditions associated with high pressure systems. This most commonly occurs in August and September due to diverging air and compression that warm and dry the lower atmosphere, and particularly hinder nighttime humidity recovery. 13 Lassen County CWPP
Individual Community Fire Safe Plans Detailed Fire Safe Plans have been prepared for the following communities located within Lassen County and are hereby incorporated into this Community Wildfire Protection Plan: Bieber-Nubieber Day Lassen Bench Doyle Herlong Janesville Lake Forest Estates Little Valley Madeline Milford Pittville Ravendale-Termo Richmond-Gold Run-Johnstonville Standish-Litchfield Stones-Bengard-Spaulding Susanville Westwood-Clear Creek The property owners and residents of the Hallelujah Junction area have initiated the formation of a fire protection district.
