'It is going to be the hottest day so far since the fire began.' Spiking temperatures and rising winds have added to the challenges that fire crews face while battling blazes across Northern California, including one marching toward Lake Tahoe.

“It is going to be the hottest day so far since the fire began, and unfortunately, probably the driest,” said Isaac Lake, a spokesman for the two-week-old Caldor Fire.

“It’s so dry out there that when embers blow out into the unburned fuel beds, the probability of ignition is 90 percent,” Lake said. Meanwhile, California’s Dixie Fire, the second-largest in state history at 1,193 square miles was 48% contained in the Sierra-Cascades region about 65 miles north of the Caldor Fire. Nearly 700 homes were among almost 1,300 buildings that have been destroyed since the fire began in early July.
