Greenville/Plumas County, Aug 11 (EFE/EPA).- The huge wildfire that has been burning for four weeks in northeastern California has already destroyed more than 550 homes and firefighters have only managed to get it 30 percent contained, authorities reported on Wednesday.So far, the Dixie fire, dubbed thusly because of the name of the mountain highway along which it began, has burned 202,700 hectares (some 510,000 acres), according to the latest figures from the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (Cal Fire).The blaze, which has been raging since July 14 over a mountainous area near Lassen Volcanic National Park, is already the second largest fire ever registered in California, surpassed only by the August Complex fire last year, although that fire was actually 38 separate fires all burning in the same general area.
