As crews continue to battle flames in California and Oregon, officials are warning that increased temperatures and fast winds could create dangerous conditions for firefighters this week.
"I think we definitely have a few hard days ahead of us," Shannon Prather, of the U.S. Forest Service, told the Associated Press. The Dixie fire, California's biggest blaze, has continued to grow in recent weeks, destroying 67 homes and structures and threatening 12,000 more. Located near California's Feather River Canyon, the flames cover 274,139 acres and are only 35% contained.More Related News

And if that isn't enough, after hitting the pool, she hits the weights.
