Adopt A Pet Today from the Lassen
County Animal Shelter – Cody
Meet Cody - He’s big, silly, and full of lots of energy! Cody came to the Lassen County Animal Shelter as a surrender. He’s about 2 years old and has a lot of energy to burn. He’d benefit from joining an active household and would thrive with an experienced dog owner.

He needs a refresher course on house manners, such as counter surfing and jumping up, so his new family will need to be prepared to help him transition into a new routine and what’s expected of him.
Cody loves the kid pools available for him to use in the outdoor dog runs and will instantly get in the water whenever he’s brought outside. He’s a ‘go, go, GO’ type of boy who loves running and playing. He will need healthy outlets for his excessive energy and a family willing to make sure he gets just that.

It’s quite possible that he would do well with other dogs; he seems to want to play through fencing in the play yard. Having another dog at home to show Cody the ropes could be just what he needs to make the transition from shelter to home life that much smoother. So, if there is another dog in a potential new home, it is recommended to arrange a meet and greet to ensure they get along.

Additionally, Cody needs a cat-free home and it’s recommended for children in his new family to be older (10+). Cody is a very large boy and has a rambunctious nature, which could result in him easily running into and knocking over small children. If interested in learning more about Cody, or other adoptable animals at the shelter, please call (530) 257-9200.
Featured animals at the Lassen County Animal Shelter are available for adoption on a first-come-first-serve basis. According to California law, all adoptable dogs and cats must be spayed and neutered before leaving our facility. If interested in adopting an animal, please contact the shelter directly.

Current shelter hours during the COVID-19 pandemic are Monday through Friday, 9:00a.m. to 3:00p.m. Closed Saturday and Sunday. You can contact the shelter at 257-9200.
BLM Announces Fire Restrictions for NE California, NW Nevada Public Lands
The Bureau of Land Management on Monday, August 1st, will implement seasonal fire restrictions to prevent wildfire risk on public lands managed by the Eagle Lake and Applegate field offices in Lassen, Modoc, Plumas, Sierra, Shasta and Siskiyou counties in California, and in Washoe County, Nevada.

These seasonal restrictions are in addition to the BLM California fire prevention order and will remain in effect until further notice.
“These seasonal restrictions are important for protecting public lands and nearby communities from wildfire,” said Marilla Martin, assistant field manager in the BLM Eagle Lake Field Office, Susanville.

“Our prolonged drought has led to dry vegetation. These conditions, combined with high temperatures and windy afternoons are rapidly increasing fire danger. We need to minimize the potential for fire starts.”

The fire restrictions prohibit all campfires and use of barbecues except in the established fire rings or stoves at the North Eagle Lake, Pit River and Boulder Reservoir campgrounds, and in the Hobo Camp Day Use Area. Portable stoves and lanterns using gas, jellied petroleum or pressurized liquid fuel are allowed outside of these areas.

Users must have a valid California campfire permit on BLM managed lands within California. Visitors should be extremely careful with their use. Wildland visitors should carry shovels, water and fire extinguishers.

More information on preventing wildland fires is available at www.readyforwildfire.org. California campfire permits are available free at all BLM, CAL FIRE and US Forest Service offices and online here.

Seasonal fire restrictions include:

• No smoking, except within an enclosed vehicle or building, or at a designated, developed recreation site, or other designated area.
• No motor vehicles or internal combustion engines off established roads or trails. Chainsaws equipped with spark arresters may be used until 1 p.m. daily.
• No possession or use of fireworks, including devices labelled “safe and sane.”
• Target shooters may not use incendiary, tracer, steel core, armor-piercing, exploding or incendiary ammunition, or targets made of material that could explode or emit sparks.

Hunting with a valid California hunting license and in accordance with hunting regulations continues to be permissible.

The public can find the Applegate Field Office fire restriction order or the Eagle Lake Field Office fire restriction order by clicking on the links within this sentence or by visiting the BLM California fire restrictions Web page.

BLM officials noted that violations of fire restrictions are punishable by a fine up to $100,000 or up to 12 months in jail, or both. Restitution for total fire suppression and damage costs incurred may be borne by the violator. Fire restrictions are also in place for neighboring BLM-managed public lands in northern California and Nevada and neighboring national forests. Visitors should check on fire restrictions in areas they plan to visit.

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 4,000 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.
