The Lava Fire, one of the largest wildfires to scorch California in 2021, burned over 26,000 acres and prompted evacuations of at least 8,000 residents. Sparked by a lightning strike, the fire burned for just over two months around the wooded slopes of Mt. Shasta. The extensive fire heavily damaged multiple structures, including Union Pacific Railroad’s Dry Canyon Bridge and nine miles of track near Weed, California.
