#PickettFire UPDATE: Thanks to the hard work being put in by firefighters, we now have 5% containment on this fire. Another flight from Intel 12 has been ordered to map the fire and provide updated acreage, which will be forthcoming. A priority Friday has been the dozer work on the right flank, an area that's seen active fire. The 15 assigned dozers are greatly aiding in establishing control lines and providing access. They are being supported by aerial firefighting operations to tie in the control lines from Rattlesnake Ridge wrapping around to Sugarloaf Mountain to protect communities that lie further to the east.

🚒 Structure Fire Assist – Quick Actions Make a Difference🔥 On Wednesday, July 24, CAL FIRE LNU responded to assist Lakeport Fire District with a residential structure fire. In this video, you'll see Engine 1468 from CAL FIRE LNU’s Kelsey-Cobb station arriving on scene and moving in to support firefighting efforts. As the engine 1468’s Fire Captain approached the structure, he spotted nearby vegetation starting to catch fire. Without hesitation, the Fire Captain and his crew quickly shifted focus and knocked down the flames before they could spread further. This incident highlights the importance of continuous training and adaptability. Firefighters must be ready to shift gears at a moment’s notice—from battling a structure fire to stopping a vegetation fire in its tracks. 👏 Great work by the Kelsey-Cobb crew and all responding personnel!
