The Creek Fire was started by lightning on 9/3/17 when a strong thunderstorm cell moved through the area. The Creek Fire is located in the Bourland area of Mi Wok Ranger District on the Stanislaus National Forest. Full suppression tactics are being utilized on this fire with indirect strategy due to a lack of resources available on the forest and throughout the region.
