A massive fire in Northern California grew again on July 30 to nearly 610 square miles—bigger than the city of Los Angeles—making it the fifth-largest fire in state history.
The Park fire, which started on July 24 after a man allegedly pushed a burning car into a park ravine, had destroyed 361 structures—209 of which were single-family homes—by the afternoon of July 31, according to Incident Commander Billy See, an assistant fire chief for Fresno County Fire Protection District.
