TOPSHOT - In this long exposure photograph, trees smolder and burn during the Dixie fire near Greenville, California on August 3, 2021. - The Dixie fire has burned more than 250,000 acres and continues to get closer to residential communities. The 2017 Thomas Fire is now only the seventh worst by area destroyed -- and is likely to be overtaken soon by the Dixie Fire raging through the state's northern forests, as climate change makes wildfire season longer, hotter and more devastating.
