News summary

Firefighters in Northern California are gaining some control over the Park Fire, which has burned more than 350,000 acres across Butte, Plumas, Shasta, and Tehama counties. Cooler temperatures and higher humidity are aiding efforts to contain the blaze, which has doubled in size since Friday and is currently 12% contained. The fire, which authorities say was started by arson, is now the largest active blaze in California and has drawn comparisons to the devastating Camp Fire of 2018. Evacuation orders and warnings have been issued for several communities, including Paradise. President Joe Biden has been briefed and directed federal assistance to help combat the fire. Efforts are ongoing and the fire could take weeks or even months to fully contain.
