California’s two most explosive fires both steadily charred more acreage as the weekend began, thanks to dry vegetation and hard-to-reach spotting, as crews prepared for high winds expected to turbocharge their spread.

The Caldor Fire, burning in El Dorado County for the past week, covered 82,444 acres as of Saturday morning, a gain of about 10,000 acres since Friday, and remained 0% contained. To the north, the Dixie Fire — the state’s biggest so far this year — had engulfed 714,219 acres total and was 35% contained.
