AP: Record-breaking California wildfires surpass 4 million acres
In a year that has already brought apocalyptic skies and smothering smoke to the West Coast, California set a grim new record Sunday when officials announced that the wildfires of 2020 have now scorched a record 4 million acres — in a fire season that is far from over.
The Los Angeles Times says “The fires this year have burned an area larger than the state of Connecticut.”
