Wildfires continue to ravage California and Oregon, leading to evacuations and destruction. The Park fire in California has grown to over 307,000 acres, making it the largest in the country.

Over 4,000 people are under evacuation orders due to the rapid growth of the fires. In California, a suspect has been arrested for allegedly starting a fire intentionally.

The fires have also spread to Washington, Oregon, and Canada, causing further evacuations and devastation. Tragically, a pilot of a firefighting aircraft lost their life.

Climate change has been identified as a major factor in the intensity and frequency of these wildfires. In addition to California and Oregon, wildfires are also raging in Canada, forcing evacuations and turning towns into hell-scapes.

Firefighters from around the world, including Canada, South Africa, and Australia, are coming together to battle the fires and protect communities. These wildfires serve as a haunting reminder of the vulnerability of forest communities and the urgent need to address climate change.
