The Park Fire has surpassed 2020's SCU Lightning Complex as the fourth-largest fire in the state's recorded history as of Friday morning. More than 500 structures have been destroyed and at least 6,700 structures remain threatened by the blaze, Cal Fire reported.
Despite critical weather conditions with high temperatures, low humidity, and strong winds, firefighters from across the country are actively working to control flames and protect threatened areas like Lassen National Forest and the Mill Creek community.
Aerial units from Texas, Utah, North Dakota, and Nevada have assisted in battling the Park Fire, while additional hand crews from the California National Guard will be deployed for fire suppression efforts. Crews are actively patrolling and establishing containment and prevention lines.
