The wildfires in California continued to pick up steam over the weekend, with one of the fires doubling in size and becoming the 4th-largest in state history. Kent Porter, a photographer for the Press Democrat, captured this stunning shot of a 747 Global Airtanker releasing its payload of fire retardant near Lakeport. 

At least 18 major fires are currently burning in California, and nine people have died in the blazes.
