Scenes from Oroville, CA
Firefighters staying at the hotel where I stayed in Oroville on 8/15/24. They were fighting the Park Fire, an arson caused fire that started on 7/24/24 and to date has burned 429,603 acres, the fourth largest in recorded California history. The trucks are from San Bernardino County Fire Department. #ParkFire #wildfire #handcrew #firefighters #SanBernadino #Oroville #ButteCounty #firetrucks #California

Both are professional hand crews that are available to respond to emergencies. The first San Bernardino County Fire Department professional hand crew was created in July 2012 and consisted of 18 rigorously trained members known as Crew 40. "Today, San Bernardino County is proud to have Old Cajon Crew 6 and Harrison Canyon Crew 7. Both crews are available to respond to emergencies 24 hours a day, seven days a week. In addition to their year-round availability, these crews are augmented by seasonal hand crew members six months out of the year for a total of 30 members. SBCoFD hand crews have become increasingly deployed to various incidents in recent years and serve multiple benefits to the county. In addition to their work in wildland areas, hand crews are assigned to conduct mop-up operations after fires are put out, ensuring that hotspots don’t flare up and the fire is fully extinguished. The hand crew program has also secured numerous contracts with San Bernardino County Land Use Services Department for fuel modification projects. Hand crew teams can serve multiple roles in fire suppression as they can create firelines, defensible space, and conduct mop-up operations, improving efficiency and relieving firefighters and medic engines to return back to service."Two firefighter transport trucks from the San Bernardino County Fire Department. https://sbcfire.org/professionalhandcrew/ San Bernardino County is proud to have Old Cajon Crew 6 and Harrison Canyon Crew 7.

It ignited on July 24 in an alleged act of arson, in the city of Chico's Bidwell Park in Butte County. The fire defied initial suppression efforts and grew rapidly over the following days, burning into the Ishi Wilderness and the Lassen National Forest. Thousands of people in foothill communities evacuated, Lassen Volcanic National Park closed to the public, and 709 buildings were destroyed. The Park Fire is the largest wildfire of California's 2024 wildfire season, the fourth largest in California history, the second largest single wildfire (as compared to a wildfire complex, with multiple ignition points), and the largest ever caused by arson in the state. As of August 30, 2024, the fire has burned 429,603 acres (173,854 hectares) and is 95 percent contained. Fire suppression operations have cost $293 million.A map showing the progression and limits of the Park Fire as of August 14, 2024. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Park_Fire The Park Fire is an active wildfire in Butte and Tehama counties in Northern California.
