Firefighters respond to flareup on Almanor today
During their briefings, Dixie Fire management teams refer to the calls for service that they receive as area residents reports smokes. Such was the case this afternoon on the shore of Lake Almanor as a helicopter was called in to douse the hotspot.
These flareups will continue until winter finally puts out the fire, though even then, fires can reignite the following year as occurred this summer in the footprint of the Claremont and Bear fires.
As of this morning the Dixie Fire was 75 percent contained, though that number is higher in Plumas County, at 91 percent.
