The Caldor Fire Morning Update, 53,772 Acres, 0% Contained & 242 Total Personnel
Grizzly Flats, CA...The Caldor Fire continued to experience unprecedented fire behavior and growth due to extremely dry fuels pushed by the south west winds. A red flag warning is still in effect for the fire area through 8:00 PM tonight with winds switching to the northeast. These winds, combined with low humidity and extremely dry fuels, lead to critical fire weather conditions. The communities in proximity to the Caldor Fire experienced multiple evacuations yesterday due to the fast-moving fire. Some structures were damaged or destroyed. Structure assessment teams will be evaluating these areas as soon as it is safe for them to do so.
The rapidly changing, complexity and immediate needs of the incident have prevented assessing the quantity of resources resulting in no reported changes to the documented numbers in this update. We received additional resources and immediately utilized them on the fire. Significant resources have been ordered to be assigned to this incident.

We need to go back to allowing volunteer firefighters. Civilians teams could do structure protection on old engines.
Frees up actual firefighters to work fires. You don't need a $500k fire engine parked in a driveway.
A 50 year old fire engine that still moves under its own power with working pumps can do structure protection.

How inconvenient it must be for Mr. Hamilturd to interrupt his daily flow of useless local ads with all of this hogwash fire talk...
What a useless rag this website has become. Mymotherlode.com sh*ts all over this site.
Time to shut it down, John... you unbelievable hack.

I disagree. The Pinetree serves as an important voice for our own religious fundamentalists and domestic terrorists here in Calverastan.

This is why I hate the Bay and Valley moving here. As soon as they get here the complaining starts. Our ancestors built this place and we like it just like it is, with our tight knit communities and word of mouth news. Of course you are angry that you do not, and never will enjoy the simple things or the peace that comes with living in the country. Move back to the city where you belong.
