The Biscar Fire, which ignited from a lightning strike on July 18, 2026 in Lassen County, California, has reached 97% containment as of July 27, 2026, according to InciWeb. Fire activity has been minimal despite elevated fire weather conditions, with crews reinforcing containment lines through "cold trailing".

Evacuation orders have been lifted for all areas in California, though Nevada's Washoe County maintains Level 2 and Level 3 evacuation recommendations for portions of central Washoe County. The California Interagency Incident Management Team 3 has demobilized and will be reassigned to the Castle Fire in Oregon.
