After one month, Dixie Fire continues to rage with hundreds of homes destroyed

A month-old wildfire burning through forestlands in Northern California lurched toward a small lumber town as blazes across the U.S. Western states strained resources and threatened thousands of homes with destruction. More than 6,000 firefighters alone were battling the Dixie Fire, which has destroyed more than 1,000 homes, businesses and other structures

Crews were cutting back brush and using bulldozers to build lines to keep the Dixie Fire from reaching Westwood east of Lake Almanor, not far from where the lightning-caused blaze destroyed much of the town of Greenville last week.  Satellite photos by Maxar Technologies show the devastation in Greenville: CBS Sacramento reports that the Plumas County Sheriff's Office said there are four people who are unaccounted for in the areas of Greenville and Chester. Greenville, a town of about 1,700 people, was placed under evacuation orders Aug. 5 as the blaze inched closer.
