The Moonlight Fire started on Labor Day, September 3, 2007, near Westwood in Lassen County, California, United States. It was a human-caused wildfire started as a result of logging operations on private land southeast of Mountain Meadows Reservoir and is still under investigation.[citation needed] Approximately 2,300 firefighters were involved in fighting the fire.[1] Strong winds pushed smoke to the Sacramento Valley, Bay Area, Nevada and Idaho. In Plumas County, 500 homes were threatened by the Moonlight Fire; 100 residences were evacuated near Greenville in the North Arm area of Indian Valley, as the wild fire was still raging in the Plumas National Forest.[1] The fire was fully contained on September 19, 2007, having burned a total of 65,000 acres (260 km2).[2]
