Several fires continue to burn in Modoc County including the Parker 2 Fire, the Cove Fire, and the Steele Fire. The Parker 2 Fire has burned 8.087 acres and is 25 percent contained. Voluntary evacuations were lifted this afternoon for South Granger to North Deep Creek, west of County Road 1. Rain and road conditions prevented firefighters from working on line construction overnight. Despite the rain, infrared imaging and crew observations show that the fire is still holding scattered heat in many locations. Today, crews on the northern side of the fire will continue to work directly on the fire’s edge east from Dry Creek Basin, and to build indirect fire line along the ridge north of Forest Road 42N30.
