The Telegraph published this video item, entitled “Dixie wildfire in California grows to area larger than Los Angeles” – below is their description.
The monstrous Dixie Fire in northern California has engulfed an area larger than Los Angeles, with three people reported missing and thousands fleeing the advancing flames.
The blaze is the largest active wildfire in the United States, but there are 10 others in California.
As of Sunday, the Dixie fire had destroyed 489,287 acres (198,007 hectares), authorities said, up from the previous day’s 447,723 acres.
Over the weekend, it surpassed the 2018 Mendocino Complex Fire to make it the second-worst fire in state history.
“It was like driving out of a war zone that you see in a movie,” Tami Kugler told AFP, sitting beside her tent at an evacuation station after fleeing the historic town of Greenville before it burned down.
“My neighborhood is gone – I mean gone, gone. Everybody I care and love about that’s in that neighborhood, their homes are gone,” she said, adding: “I didn’t have insurance.”
