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.
