The Antelope Fire began from a lightning strike on August 1, 2021 south of Tennant, California & lasted to October 15, 2021, burning a total of 145,632 acres.  It was one of many large-scale fires brought on by an ongoing drought to the region.  It was nearly contained in September when abrupt extreme fire activity & winds broke fire lines & sent it northwards nearly 15 miles to Sheepy Ridge, nearly doubling it in size.  The fire tore through the west half of Lava Beds National Monument, greatly altering the landscape (the previous year, the Caldwell Fire burned the east side of the monument).  This view is near Squaw Mountain shows an area of high intense burn leaving nothing but the bare pumice floor.
