California's Park Fire destroys hundreds of structures, firefighters concerned about weather

Images show the Park Fire's devastation in Northern California as humid weather allows for slightly better containment efforts. This comes as the Nixon Fire covers 5,000 acres in Riverside County. CBS News Bay Area's Kevin Ko reports from Butte County, and CBS News Bay Area meteorologist Jessica Burch breaks down what's next for the weather.

No one is talking about the massive amount of homeowners insurance cancellations that took place in nor cal about 3 months ago!! My parents received a cancellation with no warning nor reasoning, and so did all the neighbors! Then this huge fire happens!? I guarantee lots of people just figured they would figure out the ins. Later since they’d have to shop around. Thank God my parents found insurance right away but it came with a huge price tag for very little insured. 😢

Great reporting by Kevin Ko. Appreciate his empathy and attention to details.

It has been realized that 100 years of fire suppression allowed the build up of fuel. This build up contributes to the size and intensity of these fires. As a result of this realization of fire suppression being a factor in large and intense fires a major effort is being made to...increase fire suppression.

Please Lord be kind to the fire fighters; to the people who homes are gone and the little critters and the large... please stop.this devastation 🙏😢

Prayers to the firefights, family, home owners, to all involved. So, very sad. God bless y'all.

Does anyone happen to know if northern Shingletown is still intact - closer to the Viola area... has it reached highway 44 yet?

Huge wildfires are no surprise. We allowed Arrowhead and Niagara to come in and cap off all the natural springs that fed lush green valleys that stopped fires in their tracks. The slow decline of wild life is also a tragic consequence.

Commifornia and the states inability to stop fires is one of the hundreds of reasons why I moved out.

Didnt think there was anything left to burn in ca. Gavin Nuesome lack of funding on fire managemment

California fires always jump from house-to-house miles apart and then burns the wilderness between them. Oddly the exact opposite of how fires burn in other parts of the country. LOL.

California needs to quadruple the pay of the firefighter heros AND reduce the $ of politicos by 3/4ths.

[WampumGirl]

Don't the firefighters need to wear masks?

[loanhua]

Build a pipe with multiple metal nozzles in the forest to spray water whenever this happens.

Amazing how one firebug can cause all this. Better put cameras on all parks and high fire risk areas. The Carr fire caused by a backfiring car I believe. Others by pge lines sparking in winds .
All insurance companies are dropping people even in non fire areas. They cannot sustain the costs caused by people living in high risk areas. Even car insurance and renters insurance has skyrocketed .

Gosh I made something to help with that but nòooo
