Park Fire Becomes Sixth-Largest in California History
In Northern California, the Park Fire has exploded in size to become the sixth-largest wildfire in state history. By Monday, the fire had consumed more than 370,000 acres across Butte and Tehama counties an area nearly half the size of Rhode Island. Thousands of residents have been forced to evacuate their homes, including the entire town of Paradise, which was almost completely consumed by a massive wildfire in 2018.
