Ca fire rapidly reaches state’s top 10
By Nidz Godino
“Extreme fire conditions continue to challenge firefighters,” state agency Cal Fire said in post on X fire raging out of control in northern California has rapidly become among biggest ever in western US state.
So-called Park Fire burned more than 350,000 acres (142,000 hectares) as of Saturday evening, making it seventh-largest ever recorded in California history.
Fire , prompted orders for more than 4,000 people to flee their homes, was burning through largely rural, mountainous area near city of Chico, about 90 miles (145 kilometers) north of state capital Sacramento.
Fire was just 10 percent controlled, despite efforts of more than 3,700 personnel with over dozen helicopters and several planes, according to agency update.
“Numerous firefighting air tankers from throughout State are flying fire suppression missions as conditions allow, lower temperatures and higher humidity have reduced fire activity, ” it said while adding that fire was still spreading.
Park Fire started Wednesday near Chico, in Butte County, and within hours had devastated wide area there and in neighboring Tehama County.
Cal Fire’s latest update said 20 structures were confirmed destroyed by fire, lowering an earlier estimate of 134.
Numbers were expected to fluctuate as officials assess damage on the ground.
Blaze has generated enormous column of dense gray smoke which has also been blown over nearby states.
Police detained 42-year-old man on suspicion of having started fire by pushing burning car into ravine.
Chico is only about 15 miles from Paradise, city devastated by 2018 fire that ranked as California’s most deadly ever, claiming 85 lives.
Explosive growth of Park Fire has again placed Paradise under evacuation warning, unleashing painful memories for its residents.
Experts say climate change, accelerated by human action, is leading to more extreme weather events.
In Oregon, Durkee Fire, started earlier this month, has consumed nearly 290,000 acres and was about 50 percent contained, state’s wildfire response and recovery agency said.
