Park Fire Becomes Sixth-Largest in California History

HeadlineJul 30, 2024

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.
