Red Flag Warnings Are in Place Again
There are 4,785 firefighters and support personnel working to contain the blaze. But despite the all-out effort to combat the Dixie Fire, the danger for other communities in the region continues on Thursday. The fire update on Inciweb, a clearinghouse for wildfire information across the U.S., warned that overnight conditions didn’t improve with humidity staying low. That allowed the Dixie Fire to continue spreading, and it could be another explosive day on Thursday.
“Today hot, dry and windy conditions are predicted with a Red Flag warning in effect at 1 pm until Thursday at 8 pm.,” the Inciweb update noted on Thursday morning. “Active fire behavior is expected with strong, gusty winds.”
