A vast wildfire in northern California continues to grow but officials say that cooler, calmer weather was giving firefighters a much-needed break
Earlier in the week, the Dixie Fire left the Gold Rush town of Greenville charred and in ruins, though no deaths were reported. It has also burned through the small town of Canyondam, thesaid that as authorities urge thousands of locals to evacuate, they have been met at times by armed residents refusing to budge.
Ironically, the Dixie Fire's movement northeastward has been slowed in part because it has reached what the CalFire website calls the "scar" of an earlier blaze, the 2007 Moonlight Fire, reducing available fuel.
