California’s largest wildfire spreads threatening hundreds of properties

An enormous wildfire in California is spreading quickly at a charge of eight sq. miles an hour, threatening hundreds of properties and forcing folks to flee.

More than 130 properties have already been destroyed by the Park Fire, the state’s largest wildfire of the 12 months thus far, which coated 480sq miles (1,243sq km) on Friday night.

It began in Butte County on Wednesday and has been shifting shortly north and eastwards since then. A 42-year-old man has been arrested in reference to the fireplace over reviews he pushed a burning automobile right into a gully in Chico earlier than fleeing the scene.
