About this episode
Last week, the northern California mountain town of Greenville was wiped out by the Dixie Fire, which has lasted for nearly a month and is now the largest wildfire in California history.

Guest: Margaret Garcia, also known as Meg Upton , reporter at Plumas News. If you enjoy this show, please consider signing up for Slate Plus.
