Map: Dixie Fire perimeter and evacuation zones

The evacuation zone in Plumas, Tehama, Shasta and Lassen counties is shown by the orange border.

A change in wind direction Friday whipped up activity by the Dixie Fire along Genesee Valley Road, and continued gusty winds were forecast for the weekend.

The Saturday morning report from the Forest Service fire managers put Dixie’s area at 714,219 acres (1,116 square miles), with containment at 36%. That was an increase of about 13,500 acres since Friday morning.

A 27,000-acre spot fire along Highway 395 near Janesville is separated from the main fire only by the width of Antelope Lake.

A red-flag warning is in effect for eastern Plumas County from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday, indicating heightened wildfire risk. Winds from the west-southwest gusting up to 35 mph are expected.

The evacuation order along the shores of Lake Almanor has been reduced to a warning. The evacuation zone of about 1,800 square miles in Plumas, Tehama, Shasta and Lassen counties is shown by the orange border on the map above, and in more detail — including warning areas — on the counties’ official map at the bottom of this article.

The California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection said that 1,230 structures have been destroyed by the fire. Click here for a searchable map showing the status of buildings in the fire zone.

Dixie, now California’s second-largest wildfire on record, was reported on July 13 along Highway 70 just north of the scar of the 2018 Camp Fire. Its cause is under investigation.
