INCIDENT DATE/TIME:  7.26.25 | 12 PM
LOCATION: Cohasset Rd
AREA/CITY: Chico / Butte County @ Park Fire
DETAILS:

After 36 hours of extreme fire behavior, the Park fire reached a size of over 125 thousand acres.
We accessed the town of Cohasset and found dozens of homes destroyed.
Only a handful of homes survived the blaze when it blew through town early this afternoon.
Thousands of firefighters and resources are now on the scene as the fire continues to make powerful runs to the east.
Firefighters spent hours defending and protecting homes on the south side of the fire in Highway 32 as the fire made several attempts to try and jump Highway 32.
Sadly, there was structure loss during the attempt. However, firefighters were able to save the vast majority of homes, some of which were in the nick of time.
As the fire pushes east, it reaches an uninhabited deep forest.
We attempted to access the frighteningly active head of the fire but were cut off by extreme fire behavior in a dense forest, where unsurvivable heat and zero visibility conditions were observed, as some of the video footage shows.
It has been confirmed that the cause of the fire was arson, and a suspect was arrested for allegedly setting a car on fire and pushing into a gulch, which led to this destructive and uncontrollable fire.
The final video shows a large house fully involved and collapsing. At the same time, firefighters worked to save several vehicles parked in the driveway heavily impacted by the fully engulfed home.
You can see the propane tank trying to vent from the heat and pressure while firefighters work to save the vehicles.
No further details are known.

    350,000+ acres burnt yesterday, and 115 structures destroyed, i wonder what the tally is today..

    The spontaneous combustion is incredible, firefighters can't get close enough to hose it down. God protect them ❤

    So, arson. And, they caught him. He’s 42, get him out there to clean up his mess. Seven years hard labor until he repays his debt to these people.

    California is looking like such a great place to live in and pay high taxes!

    Concrete homes should be considered by rebuilders.
  • @HazeOfWhearyWater
    Nice of them to keep those people's cars hosed down. All they have left.
  • @stevem3605
    Doing a great job covering this mess. The video from a couple days ago, the night time video was just unbelievable. Stay safe, no picture or video is worth the ultimate price.
