I believe inciweb is for Fed fires, and Lowell appears to be on state land (based off the fact it has a Calfire posting).

Shasta-Trinity National Forest, July Lightning Update
Release Date: Aug 1, 2015
Contact(s): Media Contact: 530-226-2500 (8am to 4:30pm)
REDDING, Calif., July 31, 2015 at 10pm – Over the past 48 hours, the Shasta-Trinity National Forest received 440 lightning strikes that have resulted in over 60 fires. The largest of these fires is the Rail Fire near the town of Hayfork and is approximately 800 acres.
Numerous fires around the towns of Hyampom, Trinity Pines, and small communities outside Hayfork have resulted in the County Sheriff issuing MANDATORY evacuations. A Red Cross Shelter evacuation has been set up at the Solid Rock Baptist Church in Hayfork. Residents of Denny have been issued a VOLUNTARY evacuation notice because of the Happy Fire.
For the most current evacuation information, please call the Trinity County Sheriff office or your local law enforcement official.
The primary firefighting objective remains structure defense, minimize the spread of any additional fire, and to prevent the loss of life
Two Incident Management Teams have arrived and will assume firefighting responsibilities on 01 Aug 2015. Command elements of the incoming teams were briefed this afternoon on current fire conditions. Northern California Incident Management Team 2 will assume control of the Fork Complex near Hyampom. California Incident Management Team 3 will assume control of the River Complex near Denny.
With the large number of fires throughout the area, large amounts of smoke may be present. Residents are urged to remain cautious when traveling in the affected areas. Additional lightning is forecasted across the forest through tomorrow. With the amount and frequency of lightning, the Shasta-Trinity NF anticipates additional fires.
Fire information can be obtained by visiting http://inciweb.nwcg.gov/incident/4399/ or calling the Public Information Line at (530) 628-0039.

Ocean side of the hills got a spritz of rain. Big fat drops, but nothing measurable. Just enough to get me panicked about my car's sunroof being open.
