The Dixie Fire continued to torch acres of California land through the night into Sunday morning and officially became the second-largest wildfire in the state’s history, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.

The blaze grew by nearly 16,000 acres between 8:25 p.m. Saturday and 7 a.m. Sunday and has now burned 463,477 acres since it began to burn on July 13. The blaze has rolled through the northern Sierra Nevada mountains in Butte and Plumas counties and has consumed an area larger than Los Angeles and about the same size as Maui in the Hawaiian Islands.
