Firefighters are preparing for another hot day on Thursday as they hope to halt the spread of a Butte County wildfire that led to thousands of evacuations, injured several firefighters and destroyed multiple structures. The Thompson Fire started around 11 a.m. on July 2 near Cherokee and Thompson Flat Cemetery roads. Spreading flames have led to evacuation orders expanding, including parts of the city of Oroville. Cal Fire in its 6:37 a.m. Thursday report said the number of acres burnt has not changed over the past 12 hours, a sign that they may soon gain control over the fire. However, it warns another day of triple-digit temperatures could increase the risk of more flames spreading.
