Massive Dixie Fire Explodes Again

The U.S. Forestry Department announced it is operating in "crisis mode."

California's massive Dixie Fire is still burning more than a month after it ignited. On Tuesday, the fire burned more than 48,000 acres. The fire was driven by red flag wind gusts of up to 40 mph. Firefighters only have it 30 percent contained. The Northern California blaze is the largest wildfire in the United States. It is one of 104 fires burning, most of which are in the western part of the country.
