The Park Fire in California has become the state's largest fire of the year, burning over 383,619 acres across Butte, Plumas, Shasta, and Tehama counties, and is now the fifth-largest fire in California history. The blaze, suspected to have been caused by arson, has led to the destruction of 165 structures and the evacuation of over 26,000 residents. Firefighters are working to contain the fire, which is currently only 14% contained, aided by slightly cooler temperatures this week. NASA captured the fire's extensive scorch marks and smoke from space, highlighting the severity of the situation. California Governor Gavin Newsom has declared a state of emergency, and resources have been mobilized to combat the fire, which poses continued risks due to high temperatures, low humidity, and strong winds.
