    Wildfires have been raging across California , including the Park Fire which has spread to 164,286 acres as of Friday, 26 July.

    Authorities have said that the Northern California wildland fire was allegedly started by a man who pushed a burning car into a gully.

    The blaze is the state’s largest conflagration this wildfire season, following the Lake Fire near Santa Barbara that started on 5 July.

    Boosted by high temperatures and wind, it began to produce pyrocumulus clouds as it neared 100,000 acres in less than 24 hours.

    Investigators have arrested a 42-year-old man who will be arraigned Monday.
