#CaldorFire (El Dorado Co/ENF) - From the community meeting: incident has been split into a west & east zone. Have direct dozer & hand line all along that area of fire that went across Hwy 88 up to Two Sentinels west of Kirkwood, working to put hose in there.
#CaldorFire - They have some active fire on the west side of Hwy 88 near Silver Lake that is blowing smoke N/E, aircraft working that. Some fire still active in challenging rocky areas to the S/W of there. 1/4 acre spot fire in Div P that got handled.
#CaldorFire - Looking @ repopulation soon in Division A, they're in the process of removing their equipment & hose. Division D still looks extremely good w/ no smokes visible along the line from a recon flight. That piece could be called contained in the next day or so.

#CaldorFire (El Dorado Co/ENF) - Flareup in Div P just west of Leek Springs, couple of trees torching right up against the retardant line, but remains inside. Had to divert 2 copters from the Kirkwood area to this. No tankers right now, copters also working by Wrights Lake.
#CaldorFire - Sounds like they have a handle on this flareup & the copters are heading back to the Kirkwood area.
#CaldorFire - Those copters will now be taking action on an area of trees that are on fire threatening cabins north of Hwy 88 near Kirkwood, looking to take some of the heat out of it as it approaches them.

#CaldorFire (El Dorado Co/ENF) - From the morning update: no change on the western/SW side, that continues to hold. Their efforts to stop the southern side of Div D saved approx 600-700 structures & an additional 10,000 acres from burning. Continuing to mop up there.
#CaldorFire - They finally tied in that problematic area S/O US-50 near the Div F & G break. Still some internal pockets of fuel in there but don't expect any movement. Maintaining a strong presence east of there along US-50 to make sure nothing flares up around cabins.
#CaldorFire - Structure protection group established @ Wrights Lake. The fire is moving north/NE into the wilderness area. Flanking the fire away from structures. Into SLT: reduction in spread of the fire on the N/E side, it is bumping the border of the Heavenly Valley ski area.

#CaldorFire (El Dorado Co/ENF) - Quick look @ todays ops map from certain areas of the fire. #Kirkwood: have dozer line (circled in blue) around Ferguson Point & completed dozer line down the west side of Kirkwood & out in front of that fire running N/E from Lake Kirkwood.
#CaldorFire - SLT: The green is a 75-100ft wide fuel break under powerlines that runs nearly to the NV border, it looks like they've put some dozer line behind it too where it starts on the western side. Have completed dozer line along west side of N Upper Truckee Rd & LT Blvd.
#CaldorFire - Wrights Lake: Seems to be a fuel break on the maps now along the road that leads to the lake proper. I heard radio traffic earlier saying they'd take dozer line around cabins @ the lake & into the granite in Section 28 (N/E of lake). Yellow = proposed dozer line.

#CaldorFire (El Dorado Co/ENF) - From the community meeting: continue to see flare-ups within the perimeter on the south & S/W sides, expect smoke in there, if it looks really bad, let them know. They're already in there monitoring & mopping up though.
#CaldorFire - Still a lot of work to do on that uncontained piece of Div D. Have lots of hose & crews in there, it is a real troublesome area but they have a real heavy presence there to ensure the fire is out.
#CaldorFire - Still removing their equipment from areas of Division F near Jenkinson Lake, there is hose in peoples driveways etc, before they can repopulate. In Division G along US-50 near Ice House Rd, that big unburned island of fuels is 1,000 acres.

#CaldorFire (El Dorado Co/ENF) - From the ops update that was just posted: still a good 48-96 hours of mop up before they can call that last piece of Div D contained then look @ repopulating the area off Sly Park Rd. It still has potential to spread, 1 acre spot fire yesterday.
#CaldorFire - Still working on that unburned island south of US-50 near the Div F & G break (Ice House Rd). Big fear for them is if fire spots north across US-50 there, they are making contingency lines using dozers & masticators on the north side of US-50.
#CaldorFire - The fire by Wrights Lake has started turning back N/W towards the lake. Large contingent of resources in there protecting infrastructure & property. Trying to stop it moving east & west by putting dozer line into the granite rocks.
