Fire officials on Tuesday said the Park Fire had grown to more than 383,000 acres, about 600 square miles, making it California’s fifth-largest wildfire in history. See video of the fire here.
The blaze is actively burning across four counties and is only 14% contained. To date, 165 structures have been destroyed, with more than 4,200 additional buildings still at risk. Fortunately, no fatalities among civilians or firefighters have been reported.
On Monday, a suspect appeared in court and was charged with arson for allegedly starting the Park Fire. The individual is accused of pushing a burning car into a ravine, which ignited the massive blaze.

info on the guy arrested..
Stout has two felony convictions: He was convicted of child molestation in Butte County in 2001 and robbery with great bodily injury in Kern County in 2002. Stout was in prison for 19 years after the second conviction, records from Kern County show.
When officials arrested him this week, Stout was still on probation for a DUI, the district attorney’s office said. While officials said he has not yet been charged, they plan to book him on suspicion of intentional arson once they finish reviewing the evidence. He is now in the Butte County Jail, and the arraignment is set for Monday, according to the district attorney.
