The speed and ferocity of the fire can be seen as it approaches and then overtakes a wildfire observation tower.
The Park Fire is currently the largest fire in California right now, with more than 350,000 acres burned as of Sunday. It has destroyed 134 structures including one wildfire camera tower that caught images of itself being consumed as the fire tore through the area.
In a video posted to AlertCalifornia’s YouTube channel, the speed and ferocity of the fire can be seen as it approaches and then overtakes a wildfire observation tower. The video shows the fire approaching starting at 6:52 PM on July 24. Not even an hour and a half later, the fire can be seen approaching dangerously close to the tower. Operators move the camera’s angle down to show the approach of the fire and by 8:20 PM, the fire reaches the base of the camera observation tower. Just four minutes later, the tower is consumed and the feed cuts.
