The sixth-largest wildfire in California's history rages on, defying the relentless efforts of firefighters and support crews. As the flames continue to scorch the remote area north of Sacramento, the Park Fire has already consumed a staggering 370,000 acres, doubling in size over the weekend to become the country's largest active wildfire.
Wildfires rage across the Pacific Northwest, torching vast landscapes and stretching resources thin. In Oregon, more than 30 large fires blaze fiercely, including the massive Dirky Fire near Huntington. This inferno, ignited by lightning on July 17th, has been whipped into a frenzy by wind gusts reaching 60 MPH, scorching brush, timberland, and ranches.
