Fire officials today said despite challenging conditions, crews continue to make progress on northern California’s Dixie Fire in “primary, secondary and contingency lines across the highest priority areas.”
The fire has grown to more than 500,000 acres and is 30% contained. Nearly 6,100 personnel are working the fire.
Meanwhile, volunteers with the Salvation Army are working with Lassen Community College in Susanville to provide hundreds of meals each day–700 to 800 as reported by Plumas News–to evacuees and firefighters. Individuals who’d like to volunteer through Salvation Army at Lassen area evacuation centers can get information here.
