The massive wildfire that California has been battling since early December has now ballooned into the third-largest in the state's history, burning a record amount of acreage, officials said on Saturday.
Steve Concialdi, of the Orange County Fire Authority, said the Thomas Fire, which started Dec. 4 in Santa Paula, has now burned 259,000 acres. That exceeds the devastating Rim Fire in 2013 by 2,000 acres.
