Elephant Fire Swells to State's Largest | San Jose News

A massive wildfire dubbed the Elephant Fire has erupted in California, now the state’s largest blaze and third biggest this year. Igniting along Highway 49, it’s already encroaching on land scorched by the 2020 Loyalton Fire—where 47,000 acres were lost. An evacuation order is active near Hallelujah Junction in Lassen County, while warnings stretch to other fires including the Lumbee, Loomis, Twain, and Summit flames. Key highways remain open, but officials are on high alert as the fire spreads into Plumas and Sierra counties. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
