Moving right into evening thread. Your #caldorfire alerts and updates thread starts here.

#ALERT: On the north side of highway 50, opposite Aspen Creek Road, 4-6 cabins are fully engulfed in fire.

There are additional reports of structures burned in Sac Camp. Trying to confirm
ALERT: Fire is now less than 4 miles from Echo Summit. #caldorfire
UPDATE: What is described as a "fire vortex" has crossed Camp Sacramento and several structures are severely damaged. #Caldorfire
Reports are trickling out of photographers who describe "barely making it out" of hwy 50 at Camp Sac as a "wall of fire" came down the road and moved towards Sierra at Tahoe. #Caldorfire
On the north side of 50 fire has reached the ridge above Ralston Lake.

#caldorfire
ALERT: Fire is within 1 mile of hwy 88 just west of Silver Lake. #caldorfire
UPDATE: W, it appears the tip of the western flank "finger" has been stopped from continuing to the southwest.

#caldorefire
ALERT: Evac warning for Fallen Leaf Lake area inc residences on Tahoe Mountain. #Caldorfire Image
Guys I want to catch the first thermal flights, which means I should get some rest. I will be back with new threads. In the meantime, please be kind to each other, stay safe, and follow your evac orders. Thank you for spending time with me today, and have hope. ~J

Your morning #CaldorFire alerts and updates thread begins here:
UPDATE: We usually can't see flames on the Heavenly cam during the day due to cloud cover. Now, they are close enough to see at night and might even be close enough to break through the smoke today. Check out the pic. Also...

#CaldorFire
...remember there are vast resources and massive fuel breaks and dozer lines just to the SE of Heavenly between this cam and the fire. Crews are hopeful they can continue guiding the fire S of the resort towards the east. Will monitor.

Good morning. We begin the day with a complicated story of great news and growing concerns. Let's get started.

Your early morning #caldorfire alerts and updates thread begins here:
NE: A massive 100+ ft fuel break was completed in the valley below and SE of Heavenly. Crews are successfully guiding the fire south of here in an E direction. Fire has crossed Trimmer Peek with spot fires growing N of Freel Peek near the Cold Creek drainage.

#caldorfire
NE: Moving west through Meyers all lines continue to hold with crews on top of spot fires. Little growth. Up on Echo Summit fire continues to move through unburned areas with crews protecting structures. NW of here we get into the Echo Lakes areas...

Thanks for humoring me this morning on the personal thread. For a general summary of the status of all fronts of the fire see today's early morning overview thread.

Your morning #caldorfire alerts and updates thread begins here:
UPDATE: The #caldorfire has burned over 204,000 acres and is 20% contained. Red Flag Warning continues into the afternoon.
Heavenly continues use of snow guns to spray water across the resort as much as possible. Looking SW the front (red) is approaching the valley. Crews are cutting fuel breaks (green) in an effort to guide the fire SE around Heavenly. Lines are rough approximations.

Good morning. Ops map is in, thermal imaging flight is in progress, and I have reconnected with ground sources so there is a lot to cover this morning. Let's get to it.

Your early morning #caldorfire overview begins here:
E: Starting in Christmas Valley looking N and NE. Double dozer lines have been completed on the E side of 89 from Grass Lake Creek N to Christmas Valley Drive. Crews continue to hold this line and are successfully protecting structures here. There have been...

#caldorfire
...brief moments of slopover out to 89 but all of these instances have been quickly brought under control. The primary concern for the structures here is actually from embers coming off the ridge towards Echo Summit but crews continue to manage well...
