Castella-Dunsmuir Fire responded to assist the U.S. Forest Service with the Flume Fire, a vegetation fire along northbound Interstate 5 near Flume Creek.
Thanks to a fast and coordinated response, crews were able to quickly stop the forward progress of the fire and keep it from becoming a larger incident. It was a strong reminder of how important teamwork and good working relationships are when multiple agencies come together during an emergency.
We are fortunate to work alongside the U.S. Forest Service - Shasta-Trinity National Forest,Shasta-Trinity National Forest - Fire & Aviation Management , Caltrans District 2, and CHP - Mount Shasta during the Flume Fire. It made for a smooth response and a quick stop, and we truly appreciate everyone who helped get the job done safely.
