North Texas fire crews battle massive California wildfire
SUMMARY: Firefighters are battling California’s largest wildfire of the year, the Park Fire near Chico, which has become the fourth largest on record, destroying over 500 structures since July 24. Nearly 6,400 firefighters, including crews from Texas, are working 24-hour shifts to combat the blaze, which has consumed about 400,000 acres with only 24% containment as of late Friday. Erratic winds and thunderstorms pose significant challenges, complicating firefighting efforts. Many families have been devastated, including one couple who lost their home for the second time. The situation is exacerbated by multiple large fires burning across the Western U.S.
Two dozen first responders from Fort Worth, Allen, McKinney, Greenville and Parker County were sent to battle the Park Fire in California.
