Wildfires grow in western U S , but better weather helps crews

  BLY, ORE. Lower winds and better weather helped crews using bulldozers and helicopters battling the nation s largest wildfire in southern Oregon, but gusty winds pushed a Northern California wildfire into Nevada on Thursday, prompting evacuations as blazes burn across the West. Oregon s Bootleg Fire grew to 624 square miles (1,616 square kilometers) over half the size of Rhode Island. However, authorities said higher humidity Wednesday and overnight and better conditions allowed crews to improve fire lines. The fire also was approaching an area burned by a previous fire on its active southeastern flank, raising hopes that a lack of fuel could reduce its spread, and the forecast was for favorable firefighting weather again Thursday.

The Dixie fire burning in Northern California’s Butte and Plumas counties mushroomed to more than 100,000 acres Thursday, becoming the second blaze in the state this year to surpass the megafire milestone. The aggressive fire has now destroyed at least eight structures, the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection, or Cal Fire, said, and at least 1,500 more are threatened as it continues its slow crawl east toward Lake Almanor. The fire was at 103,910 acres and 17% containment Thursday morning, Cal Fire said. It is the second megafire in the state this year. Days ago, the 105,000-acre Sugar fire in Butte County garnered the designation, for a fire surpassing 100,000 acres.
