California's Park Fire grows to one of largest in state history

As of Monday evening, California's Park Fire had burned through 370,000 acres -- roughly half the size of Rhode Island. It's the biggest fire in the Golden State since 2020. CBS News national correspondent Jonathan Vigliotti has more.

Should be charged for animal abuse too for all the animals who died in the fire

One sick man started 6th biggest CA fire
Set his car on fire and pushed downhill
Only 12% contained 😢😢😢

...was the burnt remains of his car inspected for anything? like a dead body? seems crazy he sets his car on fire and pushes it over a cliff. was he hiding something significant???🤔🤔🤔

Fire safety and prevention companies are paying 400 a day for new guys 1000 a day for experienced fellers with usually at least 3000 saw hours for Oregon and California

Properties need a giant pole in the middle with a few smaller poles going on in each direction. Center pole needs to be taller than any trees. Needs to have like a flame retardant net that could be quickly and easily opened if there is a sudden fire emergency so that you can guarantee your property doesn't burn.

No, it was not started by him. They always find a person to be the scapegoat. It was lazered because they want the minerals on that land, especially the gold.
Just like the Paradise fire was set on purpose so they could mine the land for gold. Dont ever give up your mineral rights.

That land will be perfect for hotels and condos when the fire is finished!!

Prayers to all those that have had to evacuate their homes. Prayers to those in the wake of the fires. Prayers to all the firefighters, first responders, volunteers and to all that are helping to fight the fires. God bless you all and keep you all safe. 🙏

How does California manage to have the "Largest Fire Ever" every year?

Why is it possible to lay pipelines for gas and oil around the world, but not pipelines to transport water for extinguishing fires? The water would already be there to extinguish fires and would not have to be transported in insufficient quantities by airplanes.
Why is there no money for this?

We have the worst forest fools and government. God bless the fire fighters.

[ralphwillis]

It could not happen to a better state.

[johnborisow]

This is what the governor of California is wanting.

[tarikviaer-mcclymont]

Do they really use prisoners to fight these fires?

[jonadam]

Someone does something this horrible, and the first thing we do is give him all the notoriety. We just love to know all about these people, it's good for us.

I'm just glad it wasn't caused by a careless smoker. Jason was de mobilized in 1989.

I'm guessing Stout is going to remain broke for the rest of his life.
