Firefighters stopped the forward progress of a 2-acre wildfire burning in Big Basin Redwoods State Park on Sunday afternoon.
The blaze, dubbed the Basin Fire, was reported about 12:11 p.m. Sunday near the Hihn Hammond Truck Trail, in a remote area that burned during last year’s CZU Lightning Complex fires.
As of 3:30 p.m., the fire’s progress had been halted but it wasn’t yet contained, a Cal Fire spokesperson said, adding that the acreage could increase.
No injuries have been reported and no structures are threatened, according to Cal Fire. Crews are currently performing “heavy mop-up.”
