The main thoroughfare in a historic California gold-rush town was in smoldering ruins, officials said on Thursday, hours after the state's largest wildfire engulfed the hamlet in the Sierra Nevada Mountains. Fire crews were still working on Thursday morning to extinguish fires in Greenville, 200 miles (322 km) northeast of Sacramento, after the 320,000-acre Dixie Fire roared through on the previous night. "Despite valiant efforts of firefighters, aerial resources and law enforcement to protect life and defend property, fire spread into the community of Greenville," the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (Cal Fire) said online on Thursday.
