            Cal Fire members are managing Park Fire logistics and operations from Butte Unit Headquarters, Station 63, in Oroville, Calif., on Sunday, July 28, 2024. The rapid growth of California's Park Fire is continuing to threaten Butte, Plumas, Shasta, and Tehama counties. Cooler morning temperatures are helping to moderate fire behavior, giving fire crews an opportunity to fight the fire outside of the National Forest lands. However, decreased smoke on Sunday afternoon is creating a warmer climate around the fire, increasing activity. Sunday's incident report is documenting Tehama County acreage at 306,785 acres, and Butte County acreage at 53,356. The fire is California's largest active fire at present in the state.
