#CaliforniaWatch | The #ParkFire has now grown to become the largest #California #Wildfire since 2021, and the eighth largest wildfire in recorded state history. The Park Fire has burned over 307,000 acres (480 square miles), and has consumed at least an additional 4,000-5,000 acres every hour. Some burn rate estimates are higher. At this point, containment of the fire is 0%. A fire this size with no containment is a rarity for the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE). That is not a criticism. This is a very difficult fire to get in front of fast enough with sufficient resources. Multiple attempts to keep the fire from jumping roadways have been unsuccessful. Fortunately, the fire is not currently threatening any cities or interstate highways, but that could change. Multiple evacuations have been ordered as a precaution. As an indication of how serious this fire is, CAL FIRE typically only has one incident management team (IMT) assigned to the more serious fires. They have two on this one. IMT #3 was activated to respond the Park Fire Thursday, and IMT #4 was just activated last night to assist. There are now nearly 2,500 personnel assigned to fighting this single fire. No word on any Army National Guard activations as of yet, but we're standing by should we be needed to assist. That's what we do. You can find more information on the fire at CAL FIRE webpage at https://lnkd.in/gBmb29eX. "Always Ready, On The Way!"
