California’s 2018 wildfire season is one of the most destructive on record. More than 7,500 fires burned nearly 2 million acres of land so far this year — the most land burned in a single year since records have been kept.
California is still experiencing a wildfire crisis more than two weeks after an initial lightning storm ignited more than 1,700 fires. Authorities said more than 320 fires still were active Thursday. Thousands of Northern Californians continue to evacuate. Guest: Joshpae White, engineer with Cal Fire in Northern California
