We get used to very large wildfires burning very close to our communities. But it's only the beginning of August, with a lot of fire season ahead, and the Park fire on the California side is a source of major concern.
That's among the stories JPR News has covered this week. We'll add details to this and other events when our reporters gather for a new edition of The Debrief. Our panel includes at least a few of the following: News Director Erik Neumann, reporters Roman Battaglia, Jane Vaughan, and Justin Higginbottom, and intern James Kelley.
We also get a visit from Alec Stutson at North State Public Radio, who's been tracking the Park fire.
