Firefighters continue battling massive wildfire in California ahead of thunderstorms, lightning
Firefighters made progress Saturday against California's largest wildfire of the year ahead of expected thunderstorms that could unleash fire-starting lightning and erratic winds and erode progress made over the past week. Dry, hot conditions posed similar threats across the fire-stricken West.
“We're not completely out of the woods yet, but we're looking very, very good,” CalFire official Mark Brunton said in a video update Saturday. “This is moving at a very fast pace.”
Containment of the Park Fire, now California's fourth-largest wildfire on record, was at 27% as of Saturday afternoon. Brunton said the relatively milder weather the last few days allowed firefighters to build containment lines.
