BREAKING: A fast-moving wildfire has engulfed a Northern California town, leveling much of the downtown and several homes.
Flames consume vehicles in a wrecking yard as the Dixie Fire burns in Chester, Calif., on Wednesday, Aug. 4, 2021. The region is under red flag fire warnings due to dry, windy conditions.
“If you are still in the Greenville area, you are in imminent danger and you MUST leave now!!” the Plumas County Sheriff’s Office posted on Facebook earlier Wednesday.The 3-week-old fire has grown to over 428 square miles across Plumas and Butte counties.Firefighters had been trying to protect the town of 800 about 280 miles northeast of San Francisco by clearing debris from roads and marking hazards.
Firefighters were able to save homes and hold large stretches of the blaze. But flames jumped perimeter lines in a few spots Tuesday, prompting additional evacuation orders for about 15,000 people east of Lake Almanor, fire officials said. “There’s only one way in and one way out. I didn’t want to be stuck up there if the fire came through,” Garofalo said.
Similar risky weather was expected across Southern California, where heat advisories and warnings were issued for interior valleys, mountains and deserts for much of the week. Montana on Tuesday had 25 active large blazes, followed by Idaho with 21 and Oregon with 13. California had 11.
