About this eBook
Lightning causes more fires in northeastern California than in all the rest of the State combined. Around Mt. Ingalls in Plumas county, the incidence is about one fire per 10 square miles per year. In northeastern California generally, three-fourths of all lightning-caused forest fires occur in July, August, and September, and two-thirds start between 1 and 6 p.m. These, and other details of lightning-fire incidence on public and private lands were established from tabulation of individual fire reports, as part of a research project supported by the Division of Forestry, California Department of Natural Resources.
