Willow Fire Update From Cal Fire

San Andreas, CA...On Sunday, August 28, 2016, the Tuolumne-Calaveras Unit of CAL FIRE responded to the Willow Fire in San Andreas, California. Through the combined efforts of local, federal and state firefighters, law enforcement cooperators, and the public, the fire was contained that same day at 450 acres. Of note, residents in the Willow Creek subdivision benefitted from their due diligence in performing defensible space work. This work allowed firefighters to protect these structures, and move on to other homes in need of protection. Their work also provided a safer environment for the firefighters.

The interaction between the Calaveras County Sheriff’s Office and CAL FIRE allowed for evacuation notices to be sent out to citizens in a timely fashion. Our partnership with the California Highway Patrol allowed CAL FIRE investigators to obtain information on the suspect, ultimately leading to charges filed against her. We are grateful for our partnership with the Calaveras County Sheriff’s Office and the California Highway Patrol.

We would also like to thank the many witnesses who came forward with information regarding the fire and vehicle sparking these fires. There are also citizens who went above and beyond their duty to stop the vehicle from continuing to spark additional fires.

“We are very fortunate to have the strong partnerships with fire agencies, law enforcement and other governmental entities,” said Unit Chief Josh White. “I am especially thankful for the citizens helping to stop the vehicle from starting more fires, the proactive steps the homeowners made to protect their homes, and the outpouring of support from our community. We are proud to serve the people of Calaveras and Tuolumne Counties.”
