America’s biggest fire, more than 141 thousand hectares of forest burned + video

According to Reuters, the California Forestry and Fire Department announced that these fires have burned more than 141,640 hectares of forests north of Sacramento, the capital of California, as of Saturday local time.

American officials announced that cooling air and increased air humidity may help efforts to slow down the fire.

This fire has destroyed 134 buildings and infrastructure so far and its progress has not been stopped.

On the other hand, warnings and evacuation orders have been issued to the residents of some areas, including the city of Paradise. This city was destroyed in the deadliest forest fire in the history of California.

American authorities arrested a man on Thursday on suspicion of throwing a burning car into a waterway and causing this fire.

Currently, dozens of fires are active in the United States, which have burned more than 2 million acres. The fire north of Sacramento is the largest of these fires. Also, the state of Oregon has seen several large fires that have burned more than 288 thousand acres of forests in the east of this state.
