Heat waves and historic drought tied to climate change have made wildfires harder to fight in the American West.
Greenville: Fueled by strong winds and bone-dry vegetation, the Northern California wild fire grew to become the largest single wildfire in state history. People living in the scenic forestlands of Northern California are facing a weekend of fear as it threatens to reduce thousands of homes to ashes. The fire incinerated much of Greenville on Wednesday and Thursday, destroying 370 homes and structures and threatening nearly 14,000 buildings in the northern Sierra Nevada. It had engulfed an area larger than the size of New York City.More Related News
