    Folks, the Park fire, burning through woodland, small towns ranches, and people’s homes northeast of Chico, grew to over 70,000 acres in just one day. In 18 hours, per CalFire, it has grown to over 160 thousand acres. That makes it one of the fastest growing fires in US history, likely in the top 1 or 2 percent! It is still only 3% contained. Huge fires are taking out homes and towns all over Western North America right now! We are at or very close to a record number of acres burned for this early in the year.

    Where are the explosions coming from? Propane tanks caught in the fire?

    What happens when counties refuse to enforce defensive space set back laws.
  • The time will come when large fires will connect and will be unmanageable…global heating is in runaway.
