The Park Fire in California has grown to 624 square miles, making it the fourth-largest wildfire in US history. The fire has destroyed over 540 structures and damaged 50, with nearly 6,400 firefighters working to contain it. Allegedly started by arson in a park in the Sierra Nevada foothills, the fire has been fueled by dry, hot conditions. Thunderstorms expected over the weekend may bring fire-starting lightning and erratic winds, posing a challenge to progress made. Firefighters are preparing for treacherous conditions as they battle the massive wildfire.
