The **Lone Fire** was a wildfire that burned at Pinnacle Lake in the [Modoc National Forest](/source/Modoc_National_Forest) in [Modoc County](/source/Modoc_County%2C_California), [California](/source/California) in the [United States](/source/United_States). As of September 13, the fire has burned 5,737 acres (2,322 ha) and is 100% contained.

## Progression

The Lone Fire was reported on September 5, around 4:14 p.m., near Pinnacle Lake, five miles southeast of [Clear Lake Reservoir](/source/Clear_Lake_Reservoir) in [Modoc National Forest](/source/Modoc_National_Forest) in [Modoc County, California](/source/Modoc_County%2C_California). The fire, which is burning in grass, brush and juniper, was started by a lightning strike during [thunderstorms](/source/Thunderstorm) in the area. The fire grew quickly to 5,000 acres (2,023 ha) due to strong winds and has spread east towards Boles Creek. Due to the fast growth, fire crews focused on building [firelines](/source/Fireline) and [DC-10 Air Tankers](/source/DC-10_Air_Tanker) dropped [fire retardant](/source/Fire_retardant) around the fire's perimeter, to slow the fire's growth.[1] As of September 11, the fire had burned 5,737 acres (2,322 ha) and was 92 percent contained.[1] The fire is anticipated to be contained by September 12 due to an increase in humidity and lower temperatures.[2]
