Park fire becomes largest wildfire of the year in California, leading to massive destruction and evacuations

Firefighters faced significant setbacks, with containment dropping from 3% on Thursday to 0% by Friday afternoon. However, by Saturday evening, Cal Fire was reporting 10% containment. The fire’s aggressive behavior was attributed to steep terrain and converging winds, but a change in weather conditions brought some relief. Temperatures dropped from 100 degrees to the mid-80s, humidity rose to 30%, and winds decreased, improving firefighting conditions.
