I was looking at the Leek Springs camera and saw a water truck, bulldozer and several pickup trucks at the site within the last hour. I'm surprised it didn't burn to the ground last night.

Ok news chopper shows a tanker flying in along 88, FINALLY!!! WTF!
I understand smoke grounding planes around 50/ Echo Summit. But they should be hitting it hard with retardant drops near Silver Lake.CRPA and NRA member.

Ok just saw a tanker drop retardant on a forested ridge on southeast side of 88 near Silver Lake.
Looks like they already dropped a lot of retardant all along 88. More planes in the air.Last edited by Tere_Hanges; 08-30-2021, 1:10 PM.CRPA and NRA member.

Was it USFS or CalFire who made that claim?This morning's briefing claimed the fire started on Monday (8/16)... more whitewashing to cover up the fact that the fire was largely ignored for at least two days despite people on both sides of the Middle Fork of the Consumnes calling and requesting that USFS and CalFire address the fire on Saturday and Sunday.
It will be interesting to see if the date on here changes.

They have tankers 911 and 914 working the fire. I don't see any other tankers on Flightradar24.
EDIT: 912 heading up there too.Last edited by Sierra57; 08-30-2021, 1:36 PM.... The liberal agenda preys on weakness and feelings of inferiority in the population by:

Yeah, theyre dropping retardant along the edges of the granite. Hope it works.
The Caples burn scar seems to be stopping the fire from buring straight up Caples creek into Kirkwood Lake and Lake Margaret. Would be so lucky if those areas are spared.Last edited by Tere_Hanges; 08-30-2021, 1:50 PM.CRPA and NRA member.

Yup - My little sister drives Limo and her son (my nephew) runs Hard Rock Hospitality at South Shore. They also live in South Shore ... they are out. They evacuated last night before the (now) mandatory evacuations.
This Caldor fire is a real SUMMABEACH ...!!! - Half of South Shore may be gone ... maybe all ...! The fire is coming, it's HUGE and it's NOT anywhere near contained.
I been watching this thing and reporting to my sister ... we (the family) recommended she get the gatdumn hale outta there already!Last edited by ZirconJohn; 08-30-2021, 1:57 PM..

CalFire Amador-El Dorado Unit is allegedly holding their regular briefing at 5pm and then a press conference at 5:30pm from Tahoe.
They stream their events on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/CALFIREAEU
These events are supposed to also be available via Zoom, but they have reported they been having trouble streaming across Zoom. (I have been unsuccessful trying to watch their stuff on Zoom as well.)
Voluntary and mandatory evacuations have been lessened along the western end of Hwy 88 and in parts of Amador.Last edited by Cali-Glock; 08-30-2021, 4:38 PM.1 Corinthians 2:2
