Flat Grizzly: A small fire sweeps the garden of the car, leaving dozens of houses in ash, the latest in a series of explosive blazes driven by wind gusts that have ripped off the mountains and northern California forests.
Dry dry areas are expected to see a red flag warning for strong winds and hot and dry weather until Thursday.
These conditions have given a dozen uncontrolled forest fires, including Dixie APIs aged a month and the Caldor API near the North Sierra Nevada which burned many small rustic cities in Greenville and Flat Grizzly.
No deaths were reported regardless of the speed and damage of the Blazes.
On Wednesday, the fire of the grass was driven by the wind to 30 mph (48 kilometers per hour) destroyed dozens of car houses in Lake County and injured at least one resident before the firefighters stopped their progress, said fire on the night briefing.
The rows of houses were destroyed at at least two blocks and television recordings showed the crew watering the house burned with water.
Children in a hurry from elementary school as the field across the road burned.
About 1,600 people were ordered to escape, with Sheriff Lake County Brian Martin warned “a direct threat to life and property.” Lake County has experienced repeated forest fires in the past decade that has destroyed hundreds of homes.
At least 16,000 other houses were still threatened by California forest fires, which were among around 100 burning along a dozen western states, said firefighting officials.
Tens of thousands of people remain in an evacuation order.
There were no deaths reported, despite the speed and malignancy of the Blazes, which sometimes created an erratic wind from the heated air circling to the cloud of smoke.
The fire also jumped over miles in front of the front line when the wind was scattered, the heat and pieces of wood into dry vegetation, said Thom Porter, Head of the Forestry Protection Department and California fire.
“It won’t end in the near future,” he said about Dixie’s fire.
“Everyone will suck smoke for a long time.” The fire department crew could make some progress on Wednesday Fire Dixie, increasing detention to 35%, and several evacuation orders were appointed in the Plumas and Tehama areas, where some people had not seen their homes for a month.
But Dixie and Caldor fires still threaten many small groups in and around the national forest along with a larger community, including Pollock Pines, with a population of 7,000 and Susanville, a population of 18,000, which is a county seat from Lassen County.
Eldorado National Forest and Lassen Volcanic National Park are closed.
The Dixie Fire was the first time burning from east to west across the California spine, where Sierra Nevada and the Cascade mountains met.
It has burned more than 1000 square miles (2,590 square kilometers) and only the third contained.
On Wednesday, dozens of fire engines and crew were transferred from the battle to fight the Caldor API, which exploded through heavy timber in a steep terrain because it erupted over the end of the Southwest of Lake Tahoe.
The fire has blackened nearly 220 square miles (570 square kilometers) and on Tuesday destroying Flat Grizzly, a community around 1,200.
Dozens of house caught fire, according to officials, but the calculation is incomplete.
Those who saw the consequences saw several houses standing.
Chimneys alone rose from ash, a little more than the row of chairs left from a church and a burning car that burned to the landscape.
Chris Shean said the dream house he bought six weeks ago near the elementary school rose in smoke.
He felt lucky he and his wife, cat and dog came out safely before the flame.
“It’s destruction.
You know, there really isn’t a way to explain that feeling, loss,” Shean said.
“Maybe then lose the child, maybe a baby.
…
Everything we have, everything we wake up is lost.” California forest fires are at speeds exceeding the amount of land burned last year – the most in modern history.
Blazes have also destroyed the wooden belt area that functions as the center of the state climate reduction plan because trees can store carbon dioxide.
“We see the destruction of the forest generation because of what this fire does,” Porter said.
“It will take a long time to return.” Most of the fires this year have reached the northern part of the country, most save southern California, which is expected to see clouds and even chances of drizzling in several regions Thursday.
The condition of the fire in this region is expected to be worse in the fall.
