DIXIE FIRE: 960,000+ acres, 86% contained

 

GREENVILLE, Calif. (KOLO) - SEPT. 15 8:30 P.M. Containment on the Dixie Fire jumped to 86 percent Wednesday night. So far, 960,583 acres have burned.

 

The Wednesday evening operational update for the east side of the fire had repair and mop up in most areas with hot shot crews and helicopters working on stubborn areas.

 

SEPT. 15, 1 P.M. Containment on the Dixie Fire is holding steady at 75 percent after burning 960,470 acres.

 

Hwy 44 between County Road A-21 and Hwy 89 reopened Wednesday morning with traffic control measures in place.

 

With the increased warming and drying the past few days, there has been an increase in fire activity burning interior pockets of unburned vegetation in the northern area of the fire, officials said. As a result, people may see increased smoke along the Hwy 44 corridor.

 

Firefighters are strengthening containment lines ahead of a weather front forecasted to impact the fire area this weekend with high winds and changing wind direction.

Dixie Fire Victims Sue PG&E

 

Over 200 victims of the ongoing Dixie Fire are suing PG&E for wildfire liabilities. Attorneys filed a pair of lawsuits and stated in part that the utility failed to foresee fire threats and “failed to maintain and operate the electrical equipment in its utility infrastructure.” Cal fire has yet to determine the cause to the 960-thousand acre fire but PG&E has stated that an employee spotted a tree leaning against a conductor on a utility pole on the day the fire started, July 13th. The Dixie fire has destroyed over 1,300 homes and other buildings.
