Thomas fire becomes California’s largest wildfire on record – 2017 the most destructive fire season in the Golden State
Thomas fire became California’s largest wildfire on record on Friday, having charred 273,400 acres across Ventura and Santa Barbara counties, and destroying 1,200 structures since it started on Dec. 4.
Previous record was held by the 2003 Cedar fire in San Diego County, which burned 273,246 acres and destroyed 2,820 structures, killing 15 people.
In October, wine-country fires burned about 13,000 homes and killed as many as 47 people, helping to make 2017 the most destructive fire season in CA History.
