"Today has been a rough day. There's no bones about it," Jeff Marsolais, the supervisor of El Dorado National Forest, told reporters Sunday. "I think the team is doing an excellent job of trying to stay in front of a very evolving fire. Today, it let loose." The Caldor Fire, which is 14% contained, has destroyed more than 470 structures and damaged 39 others, according to CalFire.
