There are more than 3,700 personnel, 16 helicopters and 337 fire engines assigned just to the Park Fire, officials said.

The Lake Fire, in Santa Barbara County, is the second-largest burning in the state at the moment at more than 38,000 acres, though it is now 92% contained after sparking July 5.

Meanwhile, farther north, the Durkee Fire in Oregon had grown to more than 288,000 acres on Sunday with 20% containment, according to the Oregon/Washington Bureau of Land Management. It was sparked on July 17 by a lightning strike and had been the largest fire in the country so far this year until it was surpassed by the Park Fire.

More than 500 people were fighting the fire, as rain fell overnight in the area, providing some relief for firefighters, according to officials.

The pilot of a single-engine fire tanker carrying retardant was found dead on Friday in Grant County in eastern Oregon after the aircraft was reported missing, according to the Bureau of Land Management.

Smoke spreads across several western states

Temperatures in the fire zone, which has been in the triple digits, have cooled slightly, with the high temperature in the Chico area forecast to hit 92 degrees Sunday, according to the National Weather Service.

By the end of this week, temperatures will spike back into the 100s, with lows only around 70.

The heavy smoke from fires in Northern California and Oregon is spreading across several states, including Nevada, Idaho, Utah, Wyoming and Montana. By Monday afternoon, some of the heavy smoke is expected to reach as far as the Dakotas and Nebraska.

The Air Quality Index is expected to rise 150 in Boise, Idaho, on Sunday, which would put it in the \"unhealthy\" category, the fourth of six levels. In Butte, Montana, the Air Quality Index was forecast to be in the 100 to 150 range and \"unhealthy for sensitive groups.\"
