The Caldor Fire destroyed dozens of structures along Highway 50 near Twin Bridges, CA as it advances towards South Lake Tahoe. The fire has burned over 165,000 acres, destroyed over 650 structures and the containment dropped from 19% to 13%. Firefighters are bracing for red flag conditions which will bring dangerous winds that could push the fire into the Tahoe Basin.
2021 was a tipping point.
