    Not clear if it crossed 88 yet. But it will. Nothings stopping it.
    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.

      RELEASE DATE: August 30, 2021 11:00 a.m.

      WHAT: Update to Evacuation Orders
      WHEN: Effective Immediately
      WHERE: El Dorado County

      Evacuation Order: El Dorado County

      • East of Pioneer Trail between Larch and Al Tahoe, to include the area of Heavenly Ski Resort out to the Alpine County Line and the Nevada State line on the East.


      Stateline
      • East of Ski run on the lake side of Pioneer Trail and also both sides of Pioneer Trail between Larch and the Nevada State line.


      Evacuation Routes:
      • Evacuate Eastbound on Highway 50 towards Nevada.


      Evacuation Shelters:
      • Truckee Veterans Hall 10214 High Street, Truckee, CA 96161
      • Douglas County Community Center, 1329 Waterloo Lane, Gardnerville, NV


      NOTES:
      Please go to: www.tinyurl.com/EDSOEVAC for an online evacuation map.
      All previous evacuation orders and warnings remain in effect.
      A mandatory evacuation order is defined as an immediate threat to life. This is a lawful order to leave now. The area is lawfully closed to public access.
      An evacuation warning is defined as a potential threat to life and/or property. Those who require additional time to evacuate and those with pets and livestock should leave now.

      I just saw that on KCRA news a few minutes ago. Evacuation orders for all of South Shore to Stateline and most of Tahoe west shore. Unreal!

        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.

          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.

              They need to hit it with everything they got along 88, right now, if they want to try and keep it from destroying Kirkwood and Silver Lake.

                Was it USFS or CalFire who made that claim?

                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.

                      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.

                        It was a CalFire representative that gave the update. Was unable to find this anywhere other than on the CalFire FB page.

                        The statement is at about 1:40-43

                          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!

                                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.
