A huge, fast-moving and rapidly growing wildfire in northern California is damaging homes and has forced more than 4,000 people to evacuate as firefighters battle gusty winds and perilously dry conditions, authorities have said. Fueled by a crushing heatwave, the so-called Park Fire -- the most intense wildfire to hit the state this summer -- has rapidly devoured nearly 240,000 acres (97,000 hectares) as of Friday night and is continuing to gain strength.

    Imagine the increased CO2 generated by these fires to accelerate the greenhouse effect. We are in runaway heating now folks.

    Damn, hate to see my State burning like that. That smoke you can smell out here in Vegas. Just came out to have my coffee on the patio and thought there had to be a fire somewhere in the neighborhood. But it's not. Everytime there's a big fire in Cali, we get the smoke here as well.

    Prayers for all the citizens in that community 💝. This year the combination of wind and heat have dried the vegetation everywhere sooner than normal.
