Incendio arrasa población en el norte de California
Unos 160 kilómetros al sur, el incendio River que estalló cerca de Colfax, una población de 2.000 habitantes, destruyó entre 35 y 40 viviendas y otros inmuebles, dijeron las autoridades.No había contención y unas 6.000 personas en los condados de Placer y Nevada recibieron la orden de evacuación, informó el Departamento de Bosques y Protección contra Incendios.
A principios de semana unos 5.000 bomberos avanzaron en la contención del incendio Dixie, salvaron algunas viviendas amenazadas y rodearon un tercio del perímetro. Se enviaron más camiones y topadoras para reforzar el combate, dijo Matlow. El miércoles, el incendio creció a miles de hectáreas y se ordenó la evacuación de 4.000 personas. Casi 26.500 personas de varios condados han debido abandonar sus hogares, precisó.
Desde el miércoles priman condiciones de calor intenso, baja humedad y vientos fuertes, y se pronostica que se prolongarán durante la noche del jueves.
