According to CNN, The Station Fire, which started August 26, has displaced thousands of Southern Californians. It had burned 140,150 acres by September 2.
The fire has destroyed 62 homes, three commercial properties and 27 other buildings, U.S. Forest Service spokesman Joseph Carlton said Wednesday.
The state of California has spent about $21 million so far fighting the fire in the Angeles National Forest, according to Mike Dietrich, the Forest Service's incident commander.

The Station Fire was fully contained (line around the perimeter) at 7:00 p.m. on Friday, October 16, 2009. Southern California frequently experiences quick-moving brush fires and grass fires, which burn in finer (thinner) fuels. The Station Fire, burning on National Forest lands, is truly a forest fire, especially at the higher elevations of the San Gabriel Mountains where dense stands of timber retain heat despite suppression efforts. The Station Fire which started on August 26, 2009, was the largest fire in the recorded history of Angeles National Forest (est. 1892) and the 10th largest fire in California since 1933.

There is no doubt that there were fires with significant acreage loss in years prior to 1932, but those records are less reliable,
and this list is meant to give an overview of the large acreage-loss fires in more recent times. (Also note that this list does
not include fire jurisdiction. These are the top 20 within the state, regardless of whether they were state, federal, or local
You're the next "Weird Al" Yankovic, hehe XD
