The Caldor Fire continues to rage in Northern California as it now encroaches on the popular resort town of South Lake Tahoe. For over two weeks, the Caldor Fire has swept across 199,632 acres and is only 18% contained, according to Cal Fire. Portions of Amador, El Dorado, Alpine and Douglas counties are now under evacuation orders. Nearly 60,000 people total are under evacuation orders. "The erratic winds, terrain, weather ... I’m seeing stuff I never thought would happen," Cal Fire spokesperson Dave Lauchner told ABC News Tuesday. "Hand crews can only do so much when you have 100-foot flames coming at you."More Related News
