Crews battle western wildfires that have caused thousands of evacuations
CNN
A wildfire in California is growing by thousands of acres while one in Utah has forced thousands of residents from their homes -- and crews say there is much more work to be done before the flames are under control.
In Utah, fire officials reported "great progress" on the Parleys Canyon Fire Sunday but several communities near Salt Lake City remain under evacuation. "Fire is now 10% contained. Moderate fire behavior was observed today, and aircraft supported firefighters throughout the day," officials said on Twitter Sunday. The flames have burned 619 acres since the fire began Saturday, official said. In California, the Dixie Fire, the nation's largest active fire and the second largest fire in state history, grew to 570,211 acres Sunday and is only 31% contained, according to InciWeb, the US clearinghouse for wildfire information.More Related News
