But before we jump into Southern California's top stories, Golden State residents should know that the Dixie Fire, burning in Plumas County, became the second-largest wildfire in state history on Sunday.

The fire all but leveled the historic town of Greenville and has destroyed hundreds of homes and structures since it sparked nearly one month ago.
