Summary
editDescriptionThe Dixie fire in California (Copernicus).jpg |
English: This image, acquired by one of the Copernicus Sentinel-2 satellites on 7 August 2021, shows the ongoing wildfire near Dixie, in California. The Dixie fire is the single largest fire in California's history. It has been raging in the east of the State for more than 20 days. It has forced mass evacuations and destroyed the city of Greenville. Smoke from the fire has spread all the way to low-lying areas of northern California, including Sacramento and San Francisco. As of 8 August, it had burnt a total of 1,811 km2, approaching the areas affected by the North Single Complex wildfire, which in turn had burnt more than 1,200 km2 in 2020. |
