Lassen Fire Near End
August 1, 1924
One of the most destructive and stubborn forest fires in the history of Lassen County is at last burning into a section where control is assured after destroying over 4000 acres of timber in the Fruit Growers’ Supply Company’s property at the edge of the Lassen National Forest.
The blaze covered an eight-mile front and was within several hundred yards of Eagle Lake Resort when checked. A temporary camp has been established at Eagle Lake to care for the fire fighters and provide food and other supplies.
The fire is 18 miles northeast of Westwood and 31 miles northwest of Susanville. Tourists are again entering Eagle Lake, although it will take at least two days to completely extinguish the smaller brush and stump fires.
