Cal Fire incident meteorologist Joseph Goudsward said Wednesday night that a cold front that went through the Dixie Fire on Tuesday made for clearer skies pushing a large amount of smoke out of the area.

The Dixie Fire grew an additional 26,619 acres on a windy day Wednesday bringing the total acreage burnt to 662,647. Containment is now at 34 percent, a one percent increase from Wednesday morning’s report.
