(Worthy News) – Thousands of homes in Northern California are under threat from two wildfires that recently merged, as dozens of other fires continue to burn across the western United States.
Officials say more than 10,000 homes are under threat, and evacuations have been ordered around Lake Almanor, a popular resort area, after California’s largest blaze, the Dixie Fire, merged over the weekend with the Fly Fire.
Authorities say the two fires have already destroyed nearly 180 square kilometers of forest and brush in Plumas and Butte counties north of Sacramento, California. [ Source: VOA News (Read More…) ]
