Becktworld Complex wildfire expands near Lake Tahoe amid heat wave
Firefighters battle the Beckwourth Complex, two lightning fires 45 miles north of Lake Tahoe, as extreme heat and a pyrocumulus cloud push flames northeast. Evacuations affect about 2,800 people and nearly 200 square miles of Plumas National Forest remain closed. The blaze grew to 86 square miles with 8 percent containment and relies on dozer lines as 1,200 firefighters and aircraft combat the flames.
