After doubling in size last Monday, the “Station Fire” in California threatened homes and commercial properties with a total insured value of more than $17 billion, modeling agencies AIR Worldwide and RMS reported.
By midweek, the largest of the California wildfires, the Station Fire, had burned more than 140,000 acres, destroying 62 dwellings.
Stretching up to 25 miles east to west and 18 miles north to south, the blaze was not expected to be contained until Sept. 8 at the earliest, according to reports.
