The Fly has developed enough energy to pull the Dixie. It is very evident on the East Quincy 1 hr time lapse. Quincy is just about to be completely closed off with ground smoke from the two.

The Fly Fire reached nearly 2,800 acres and had demonstrated extreme fire behavior overnight, as did the Twain portion of the Dixie Fire. The area near Twain started as a spot fire from the Dixie; the Fly Fire is not a spot fire, and the official cause is still under investigation.
Dennis Burns, the fire behavior specialist for the East Zone of the Dixie Fire, updated both areas of the fire this morning, July 24. He said that though the Fly Fire exhibited extreme fire behavior overnight, it did not push toward Quincy. In an earlier briefing today, fire officials feared that it could reach Mt. Hough within the next 24 hours.
