The Dixie Fire has become the largest single (non-complex) wildfire in the history of California. PG&E found a tree leaning on a power line next to the fire’s ignition point, and has acknowledged that it its equipment may have started the fire and it will probably face financial losses connected to the fire. An illegal drone appeared over the fire on the first day, forcing helicopter operations to temporarily cease, and this may have played a role in the fire burning out of control.
The fire is currently burning land in Butte, Lassen, Plumas and Tehama Counties, and, unfortunately, the path it will continue to move in is unknown and unpredictable. Thousands of structures have been destroyed and tens of thousands of structures are threatened by the fire, as is the town of Susanville, with a population of almost 18,000 people. The fire has burned hundreds of thousands of acres of land, destroyed the towns of Greenville and Canyondam, and smoke from the fire has caused unhealthy air as far west as Utah and Colorado.
