Flames leap above a fire vehicle as the Dixie Fire jumps Highway 395 south of Janesville, California, on Monday, Aug. 16, 2021. A small California town was largely destroyed Tuesday, the second mountain community nearly leveled by a blaze in two weeks in the state, as firefighters worked to contain multiple wildfires spreading dangerously close to communities. The Dixie Fire spurred a new round of evacuation orders Tuesday as fierce winds helped it grow and push the monstrous blaze within about 8 miles of Susanville, California, population about 18,000. Firefighters defended homes and pushed back the Dixie Fire from entering the community of Janesville after spot fires took off Monday night. But it was a fight to keep it that way Tuesday as winds push the flames toward Susanville and Janesville. 📸: @noah3929, @apnews
