NEAR MILFORD, Calif. (KRNV/CNN) – The Dixie Fire continues to burn through tinder-dry conditions in Northern California.
The fire has burned more than 626,000 acres on land and property since it broke out six weeks ago in Butte County.
The blaze is currently about 31% contained.
The Dixie Fire is the largest of nearly 100 major wildfires burning across a dozen Western states, including Alaska.
The wildfires, in large part, have been fueled by high temperatures, strong winds and dry weather.
