Devastation and smoke rise from the ashes of California wildfires

The so-called Park Fire had scorched more than 550 square miles of land in inland Northern California as of Sunday, darkening the sky with smoke and haze and contributing to poor air quality in a large swath of the Northwestern U.S. and western Canada.
The mountain town of Cohasset, California was heavily impacted by the Park Fire with dozens of structures destroyed. Days after the flames ripped through, an eerie silence permeates as smoke rises from the ashes of many evacuated homes.
Although the sprawling blaze is only 12% contained, cooler temperatures and increased humidity over the next few days could help crews battle the fire, which has drawn comparisons to the 2018 Camp Fire that tore through the nearby community of Paradise.
