Firefighters on Thursday night were digging in to protect communities from the volatile Dixie Fire, which has already destroyed at least one town in Plumas County.
Mike Wink, a California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection battalion chief, said crews were battling spot fires in West Almanor, where at least two structures and a garage were reported to have been destroyed. Crews were also gearing up to face down flames being pushed by winds east toward the Lake Almanor Peninsula and Westwood.
