More than two months after it began, the fourth-largest wildfire in California history is now fully out, according to Cal Fire. State firefighters brought the Park Fire in Chico under full containment on Friday, according to the agency. On Monday, the agency said there is no more fire activity from the blaze. The fire burned 429,603 acres in total in Tehama and Butte counties and the Lassen National Forest, about 30,000 acres less than the Mendocino Complex Fire scorched in July 2018. The 2020 August Complex Fire in Glenn, Lake, Mendocino, Tehama, Trinity and Shasta counties burned more than 1 million acres and is the largest wildfire in California history, ahead of the 2021 Dixie Fire that burned 963,309 acres in Butte, Lassen, Plumas, Shasta and Tehama counties.
