The Dixie Fire in northern California is on its way to becoming the largest wildfire in the state's history, officials say.
It has burned 917,579 acres and was only 59% contained as of Tuesday. Currently, the largest fire by acreage for the state is the August Complex, which burned 1,032,648 acres in 2020. The Dixie Fire started on July 14 and has damaged or destroyed at least 1,282 structures, according to Cal Fire.
