The Park Fire in Northern California is now California’s 5th largest wildfire on record.
This record is sobering but doesn’t capture the enormous amount of hard work done by the over 5,500 firefighters and first responders on the frontlines, or the overall impact of the fire on people and property.
Measuring the size of a wildfire is important, but there is so much to the story. The numbers don’t capture the human and environmental impacts caused by the fire.
Here are some stats at the time of writing:
- 5,849 Personnel
- 41 Helicopters
- 521 Engines
- 180 Dozers
- 115 Water Tenders
- 107 Crews
- 358 Structures Destroyed
- 21 Structures Damaged
The CAL FIRE Public Information/Communications Team works hard to get information out as soon as possible. The latest stats can be found at www.fire.ca.gov.
