NV-CCD-Monarch perhaps?

Negative, this fire is well north.

Copy. Sounds like more are starting to either wake up or inbound this week.

From Susanvillestuff.com

The largest blaze is the R2 Fire, burning grass and brush near the junction of U. S. Highway 395 and Deep Cut Rd., about 19 miles northeast of Susanville. The fire has burned 563 acres and is 80 percent contained. Bulldozers have cut a line around the fire and forward progress was stopped overnight. Crews will continue working on fire lines today, assisted by aircraft if needed.

The other significant fires touched off by last night’s lightning are the R5 and R3 fires, both burning near the junction of Skedaddle Ranch Road and Spencer Basin Road, about 11 miles northeast of Herlong. The R5 Fire is about 50 acres, while the R3 Fire is about 210 acres. There is no containment on either fire, but rate of spread was slow, and fire crews were making progress on fire lines this morning.

In addition to these fires, crews are responding this morning to a reported fire on Skedaddle Mountain east of Susanville, and two fires northeast of Cedarville.

Officials said flights are planned for this morning to spot other fires, including “holdover” fires from last night’s storms.

Susanville area N and NW is getting hammered by strikes…for past hour

Seems to be the new norm for eastern Lassen County. Was the busiest area last year in California from lightning.
