How much of Lassen Volcanic National Park in California was impacted by last year's Dixie Fire, and how were the impacts minimized to a certain extent? The following video explains how the National Park Service had prepared the national park for wildfire.
The Dixie Fire started on July 13, 2021, in Feather River Canyon southeast of Lassen Volcanic National Park. The fire entered the southeast corner of the park near Juniper Lake on August 5, 2021, at which point Lassen Volcanic National Park entered into unified command with USFS and CAL FIRE to implement a full suppression strategy.
The Dixie Fire reached its final size of 73,240 acres within the park on September 30. On October 26, the Dixie Fire reached 100 percent containment with a total size of 963,309 acres making it the largest single fire in California history.
