California’s largest wildfire explodes as hot weather threatens new blazes

Tuesday's strong winds stoked Dixie fire, which grew to over 395 sq miles across Plumas and Butte counties

California's largest wildfire exploded again after burning for nearly three weeks in remote mountains, with officials warning that hot, dry weather threatened to further stoke the flames.

Officials warned that the high temperatures increase the risk of new fires across much of the state. I think we definitely have a few hard days ahead of us," said Shannon Prather with the US Forest Service.
