The Thomas Fire in California has been one of the most devastating in California to date. Having already destroyed 900 properties and 234,000 acres of land, Thomas is ranked at 5th largest wildfire in the state's history. Only one death has been reported so far, but many fire fighters have been injured in this week-long blaze.
The growth of this fire is astounding; it's only a week-old fire but it has already destroyed so many people's homes a ruined their lives. The "gusts of wind and low humidity" will continue to pose a threat to the safety of many Californians, but hopefully the wildfires can be contained before too much more harm is done.
