The Dixie Fire, the largest, single wildfire in California state history, has burned nearly 450,000 acres and destroyed about 400 homes. A raging forest fire tore through the California mountain town of Greenville on August 4, 2021, reducing homes and historic buildings in the community to ashes. The Dixie Fire, the sixth biggest forest fire in the US state’s history. The massive blaze which started in mid-July has now engulfed around 1,300 sq km (500 square miles), and continues to be spread by high winds and record-low humidity.
The Dixie wild Fire in Northern California started above the Cresta Dam in the Feather River Canyon on July 13, 2021, and grew overnight because of gusty conditions. Officials said the fire had destroyed over a hundred homes and a historic town Greenville in Plumas County. It is big threat to a dozen rural and forest communities.

Impacts
For almost four weeks, the fire was out of control and has burned more than 487 thousand acres over four counties. The dixie fire left a path of destruction in the town of Greenville. The reports say that most residents grabbed what they could, as they were told to evacuate, but not everyone left the location.
As far as August, no deaths were reported, and the individuals lost in the destruction were safely rescued but the Sheriff’s reports say that eight individuals were missing. The cause of the accident was not confirmed, but some people say that the accident may have been started because a tree fell on one of the utility powers lines.
The Largest Fire that the state has ever seen!
Greenville’s population is only about 1100 people, and it is charred. The dixie fire is already considered to be the eighth largest fire in California state & history. Because Dixie, an entire town, is reduced to ashes, firefighters spent days pitching a last-ditch effort to save Greenville. But bone and dry conditions took a turn for the worse because of winds surging up to 40 miles per hour.
Thousands of homes were threatened since the fire broke out in mid-July. At least 67 homes and buildings are confirmed to have burned before August 5 night’s firestorm; the dixie fire is still listed at 35 percent contained. In the meantime, 2400 additional people were out of their homes from the river fire.
It’s burning about 150 miles south of Greenville in placer and Nevada counties near Colfax. at least 35 structures have been destroyed since that fire started Thursday afternoon, and about 1 400 acres have burned. The biggest challenge of firefighters tried to stay ahead of some of the spot fires.
Five hundred forty thousand acres in size, the dixie fire has more than 29 thousand people under evacuation and has already destroyed at least 1100 structures completely. The scale of the dixie fire is just so unique.
It is currently the biggest blaze of more than 100 wildfires nationwide resources stretched thin in the heat of wildfire season.
Nearly one-quarter of all wildfire responses in us 6 000 people tied to a single blaze. The crew has a shortage of critical positions like division supervisor and even line medics; that’s a critical gap and a concern about just how stretched.
The fire at times triple-digit temperatures. Firefighters call this blaze a marathon, not a sprint. The dixie fire raging on for more than a month and is less than one-third contained.
