Good morning, Redding.

Fire crews from the Forest Service and Cal Fire battled multiple lightning-caused fires Tuesday—handling the Peak Fire near Granite Peak that burned 195 acres, the Dillon Fire near Cottage Grove that reached 2,134 acres, and several smaller fires near Igo and Lake Shasta.

Redding Police identified 39-year-old Daniel Ogram as the hit-and-run suspect after his pickup truck lost a trailer on Lake Boulevard near St. Marks Street late Friday night—striking two motorcyclists and leading officers on a chase that ended at Forgotten Trail when he abandoned his truck and ran on foot.

Firefighters in the Shasta-Trinity National Forest are battling the lightning-caused Peak Fire that began Monday and has grown to 200 acres near Granite Peak—crews are using nine engines, three dozers and other resources while thunderstorms may slow progress.

Officials advise the public to avoid trails and campgrounds to ensure safe access for operations.

Shasta Clerk and Registrar of Voters Clint Curtis is seeking a larger space for the elections office to accommodate more voting machines and install 42 cameras before the November special election — the county board rejected a $2.6 million plan to move to the former Joann Fabrics store and will consider other options while readers share ideas in an unofficial poll.

The Shasta County Board of Supervisors voted unanimously on Tuesday to strengthen the defensible space ordinance by requiring full clearance of hazardous vegetation on smaller parcels while letting larger landowners self-regulate.

The new amendment allows law enforcement to treat violations as an infraction or misdemeanor — an effort that supports the county’s leading fuels reduction work.
