Dixie Fire

Firefighters are keeping an eye on a lone, emaciated bear cub that may have lost its mother to the country’s largest wildfire now burning in Northern California.

California’s largest single wildfire in recorded history kept pushing through forestlands.

Dixie Fire grew to become the largest single wildfire in state history.

Driven by fierce winds and bone-dry vegetation, the Dixie Fire destroyed most of downtown and dozens of homes in the gold rush-era community of Greenville, growing to become the third-largest in California history.
