The Dixie was a “Mega Fire” for a number of reasons, which I will not elaborate on. These “anomolies” may be not so unusual anymore . I have deep respect for all putting their lives literally on the lines. But , from a standpoint of available , burnable fuels , the Park Fire is whistling Dixie.

KCRA just did a sweeping view on their live stream (again, I am looking on FB). It seems to confirm the fire has not jumped Hwy 32, but definitely took out some homes adjacent to 32.

In the previous live feed above here it showed a spot across Hwy 32 and crews working to pick it up which they did.
