The Thompson Wildfire, burning near Oroville, California, has now scorched approximately 3,568 acres as of Thursday (July 4). Firefighters have only managed to achieve 7% containment.
Eyewitness footage from the area showed flames raging on a hill side. Reuters was able to independently verify the location and date with the original file metadata from the source.
The blaze, which began earlier this week, has prompted mandatory evacuations and threatened several structures. Some 13,000 residents were forced to flee their homes, according to fire officials and local media reports.
Efforts to contain the fire have been hampered by high temperatures and shifting winds, though crews remain committed to preventing further spread. Authorities are urging residents to stay informed and follow evacuation orders as necessary.
