The Dixie fire, already the 8th largest in California history, devastated the Plumas County town of Greenville on Wednesday. The total number of buildings lost is unclear, but officials said they were battling the blaze inside the town for hours.
“It’s just been devastating,”told ABC10 News, fighting back tears, on Wednesday. “It’s the emotional strain. It’s gotten to everybody.”
Dawn Garofalo fled with a dog and two horses from a friend’s property near Greenville, and watched the soaring cloud grow from the west side of Lake Almanor. “There’s only one way in and one way out,” she told the Associated Press “I didn’t want to be stuck up there if the fire came through.”Meanwhile, a new wildfire that began Wednesday near Colfax, north of Sacramento, has burned through 1,400 acres and started damaging and destroying homes, according to state and local officials.
Cal Fire said the River fire was burning near Milk Ranch Road and Bear River Campground Road north of Applegate in Placer and Nevada counties — jumping the Bear River between the two — and estimated it had damaged or destroyed 35 to 40 structures.The fire began just as winds kicked up in the region, officials said.
