Fires in the area destroyed any hint of healthy air quality throughout the Intermountain Area, but little property damage in the immediate area.
Thunder storms caused an estimated 15-20 small fires Friday night and Saturday morning. All but two were out by Sunday night. The other two, a two acre and a 12 acre fire on Hatchet Mountain which were considered contained by Sunday evening.
Information was not immediately available on a third fire, this one in the vicinity of Summit Lake that became clearly visible Sunday.
In the meantime, the Reading Fire which escaped Lassen Park and threatened Old Station, was considered 51% contained Sunday night with full containment on the Old Station side of the fire.
