Fires in Northern California prompted Governor Gavin Newsom to declare a state of emergency Friday in four counties: Alpine, Lassen, Plumas and Butte. The latter was the site of the deadliest and most devastating fires in California history in 2018.
According to the National Fire Center (NIFC), Dixie is just one of 86 major fires across the country, raging 566,560 hectares. Many of them are burning in the western United States.
Authorities announced Sunday that Alpine and El Dorado County police offices will begin escorting evacuees to fire-prone areas so they can retrieve pets and important documents as safety is required.
