California’s wildfires surpassed a grim milestone Sunday, more than doubling the size of last year’s blazes — though the fire season is still far from over.
More than 4 million acres — or 6,250 square miles — of the Golden State has been scorched so far in 2020, an area larger than the entire state of Connecticut.
“The 4 million mark is unfathomable. It boggles the mind, and it takes your breath away,” said Scott McLean, a spokesman for the California Department of Forestry and Fire Prevention, also known as Cal Fire. The previous record was set in 2018, when fires burned 1.67 million acres.
