Fire officials are expecting more hot weather this week as crews continue to work to increase containment on the Park Fire. As of Monday morning, the fire has burned more than 401,000 acres and is 34% contained. The fire has destroyed 640 structures.
Many residents have started to return home to check on their property as evacuation orders and warnings have been downgraded. That includes Tony Lemeshko from Paynes Creek. "We didn't have a lot of hope going up there. Because as we were driving, we were looking around, and everything was just gone. Basically ashes and charcoal everywhere you look," he said.
