4 August 2024 at 03:35 Forest fire three times the size of Oslo ravages California A large forest fire ravages California. It has been named “Park Fire”, writes Reuters. The forest fire is over 1,600 square kilometers. It is three times larger than Oslo, writes NTB. This is the third largest wildfire in California history. A 42-year-old man is accused of starting the fire, when, according to witnesses, he allegedly pushed a burning car down a ravine. The flames are said to have then spread to a nearby forest. More than 4,000 people have been evacuated and at least 560 buildings have been destroyed. Over 6,000 firefighters are working to get the fire under control. The weather challenges the effort. On Saturday, California was hit by thunderstorms that have created strong gusts of wind. There have been high temperatures and little rain. The authorities are concerned that lightning could worsen the situation.
