    About 30,000 acres have burned in northern California, according to authorities, who added that there was no containment.

            Go back 12 hours on this webcam and watch it grow. It is ominous.

              Wont surprise me if its planned to let it burn. Get people out of the forest and remote areas and force them to live in urban high rises - Agenda 21.

                This fire started on Sunday and was growing slowly until last night. This is another fire that got away from USFS.

                Looks like it's only a couple of miles away from Highway 50 now. If we get a north wind, it could also go south towards Highway 88.

                  It’s a mess, got off work and cooked up a bunch of food and drove it over to the church in diamondsprings. Anything people can do for folks will really help. People in campers and sleeping in vehicles everywhere.

                    It was/is insane.

                    It started as a small fire and CalFire telling Grizzly Flats folks not to sweat it.

                    It then blew up to about 700 some odd acres and they said everything was still okay.

                    Monday evening the first voluntary evac orders went out, then the mandatory evac orders, but they only gave voluntary and mandatory evac orders to those in Grizzly Flat proper, no notice given to the folks in Somerset that abut Grizzly Flat.

                    The fire went north and blew through Grizzly Flats and El Dorado and Amador Sheriff Deputies went house between 2-4am in the neighborhoods outside Grizzly telling people to evac.

                    By this morning the 700 some odd acre fire had burned 6500 acres, they are now saying it has burned more than 30,000 acres.

                    It is amazing no one was killed.

                    I have watched several video tours of Grizzly taken today - it seemed like in at least half the cases, you could not tell a house had even been there previously.

                    Everyone in that community is excited to get back up there, assess the damage and start rebuilding, but they won't be able to get insurance on their new home... not quite true they can purchase a fire policy from the Fair program for $6K to $18K

                    The western most edges of Grizzly Flats was apparently spared last night/this morning, but this evening the live fire map shows those streets on fire.

                          Rural homes i get, but,
                          Towns are full of paved streets, which are fire breaks, so why do we keep seeing towns burn down?

                            A 12' wide street doesn't mean **** to a crown fire driven by wind. We live in the forest and trees up here are 100+ feet tall.

                              USFS is already making excuses as to why they didn't jump on the fire right away. They are saying that the terrain is too rough, even though there are several dirt roads right near the point of origin.

                              I will see what other excuses they come up with on the ten o'clock news.
