The Dixie Fire is an active wildfire in Butte, Plumas, Lassen, and Tehama Counties, California. It is named after the road where it started.
The fire began in the Feather River Canyon near Cresta Dam
on July 13, 2021 and had
burned 678,369 acres (274,526 ha)
by August 19, with 35 percent containment. Since July, the fire has burned primarily north through the Lake Almanor area into Lassen Volcanic National Park and east toward Indian Valley and the outskirts of Quincy.
The fire has damaged or destroyed several small towns, including Greenville on August 4 and Canyondam on August 5.
By July 23, it had become the
largest wildfire of the 2021 California fire season;
by August 6 it had grown to become the
largest single (i.e. non-complex)
wildfire in the state's history, and the
second largest overall (after the August Complex fire of 2020).
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dixie_FireWe get wildfires all the time but they're getting worse. I shudder over what happened during the Camp Fire in 2018 but what happened in AUSTRAILIA's 2019-2020 wildfire season... man, oh man:

Dozens of people died in Australia's 2019-2020 bushfire season, which was one of the worst on record. More than 10 million hectares of land burned and over a billion animals are estimated to have died, with many species pushed close to extinction.
But no, there's no climate change occurring. We all just need to clean up our floors (y'know, like Finland does - LOLOLOL!).
Peace to you!
