California's Park Fire grows to fourth-largest in US history, destroys over 540 structures and damages 50

Hindustan Times  

Firefighters battling California’s largest wildfire of the year are preparing for treacherous conditions entering the weekend when expected thunderstorms may unleash fire-starting lightning and erratic winds that could erode progress made over the past week. Photographer: Benjamin Fanjoy/Bloomberg Weather, fuels and terrain will pose challenges for the nearly 6,400 firefighters battling the Park Fire, which has spread over 624 square miles since allegedly being started by arson in a park in the Sierra Nevada foothills east of the Sacramento Valley city of Chico. “Crews are being flown into access areas that have been hard to reach because of long drive times and steep, rugged terrain.” Thunderstorms and erratic winds pose challenges for firefighters battling Park Fire After days of benign weather, increasing winds and a surge of monsoonal moisture were expected to increase fire activity and bring a chance of thunderstorms Friday night into Saturday, said Ryan Walbrun, incident meteorologist with the National Weather Service. “The concern with thunderstorms is any gusty outflow winds that would push the fire itself or create some new fire ignitions within the vicinity of the Park Fire,” Walbrun said.
