Starting on July 31, 2015 from a lighting strike, the Rough Fire grew to be over 151,000 acres to be the 2nd largest wildfire in modern Sierra Nevada history. The fire was finally contained 99 days later on November 6 and was declared out in the month that followed. At one point, there were over 3,700 fire personnel assigned and the fire grew over 10,000 acres per day. 2015 Rough Fire Vignettes Staff from the parks have put together a book of short stories (vignettes) on various topics that shares how lessons learned before, during, and after the fire has impacted what we do.
