Newly clear skies in northern California will allow firefighting aircraft to rejoin the battle to contain the raging Dixie Fire, which has forced thousands from their homes and grew over the weekend to be the second-largest blaze in state history.The thick smoke that held down winds and temperatures in the wildfire zone cleared on Monday, which authorities said would allow more than two dozen helicopters and two air tankers that have been grounded to fly again and make it safer for ground crews to manoeuvre.“With this kind of weather, fire activity will pick up. But the good thing is we can get aircraft up,” said fire spokesman Ryan Bain.
