The Park Fire has burned over 350,000 acres north of Chico since Wednesday, making it one of the largest fires in state history. On Saturday, Gov. Gavin Newsom visited the area to survey firefighting efforts.
“We’re continuing to see dangerous conditions – our firefighters and emergency responders are working day and night to protect our communities,” Newsom said. “Californians must heed warning from local authorities and take steps to stay safe.”
The fire is 12% contained as of Sunday morning, according to Cal Fire.
“We have pedal to the metal right now,” Sergio Arellano, a public information officer for Cal Fire told KQED Sunday morning. “We want to get this contained. We are ordering resources. We still are considering this a dangerous fire, with the potential to grow.”
