A fast-moving wildfire has wreaked havoc in the historic gold mining town of Chinese Camp, California, destroying multiple homes and consuming over 6,400 acres of land. Sparked by lightning, the TCU September Lightning Complex has forced evacuations across three counties as it continues to grow, becoming one of the largest fires the state has faced. Residents and firefighters are battling the flames as the megablaze intensifies, leading to extensive damage in the community that played a significant role during the Gold Rush era.
