FOREST RANCH, Calif. (AP) — Thousands of firefighters battling a wildfire in Northern California are getting some help from the weather just hours after the blaze exploded scorching an area larger than Los Angeles. Officials said Saturday that cooler temperatures and an increase in humidity could help slow the Park Fire, the largest blaze so far this year in California. The fire’s intensity and dramatic spread led fire officials to make unwelcome comparisons to the monstrous Paradise fire in 2018 that killed 85 people and torched 11,000 homes. Paradise again was near the danger zone. The entire town was under an evacuation warning Saturday, one of several communities facing such a warning in Butte County.
