China News Service, July 26, reported that on the 25th local time, the largest wildfire in California, the United States, has lasted for 12 days. Many buildings have been destroyed and more than 10,000 buildings have been threatened.

California Fire Department officials said on the 25th that the fire that began on July 14 has destroyed 16 buildings, including residential, commercial buildings and other buildings.
More than 10,700 buildings in Butte and Pramas counties are threatened.
Officials said the fire was still active after one night and is expected to become more serious.
It "continues to burn in a remote, restricted area, and the steep terrain hinders efforts to control the fire."
On the 23rd local time, the governor of California declared a state of emergency in four counties, allowing officials to obtain more resources.
Scientists say that the increasing frequency and intensity of wildfires are largely due to long-term droughts and increasing high temperatures, which are all phenomena of climate change.
