Burned cars, incinerated buildings and a thick blanket of heavy smoke trail California's Dixie Fire, now the nation's largest wildfire and the third-largest wildfire in California history. The Dixie Fire now spans 698 square miles, engulfing an area larger than the size of New York City, and is just 21% contained. It continues to rip through Northern California communities and threatens thousands of homes. Fire officials say 268 homes have been destroyed, but no injuries or deaths have been reported. Sheriff Todd Johns, who said he was a lifelong Greenville resident, said more than 100 homes were destroyed in the Greenville and Indian Falls areas. "To the folks that have lost residences and businesses," Johns said, "their life is now forever changed. And all I can tell you is I’m sorry." 📸 : Noah Berger (@apnews), Josh Edelson (@gettyimages) #dixiefire #california #wildfire
