Two California wildfires merge, sparking more evacuations

TRT World says crews and officials battling a large fire that has incinerated more than 77,000 hectares (190,000 acres) in northern California braced for the possibility that smoke columns could spawn lightning storms capable of igniting more blazes.

The swarming Dixie fire in Butte County, north of Sacramento, gained ground on Saturday and was only 21 per cent contained as of Sunday, according to the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection.
