Caldor Fire ~ Desolation Wilderness, Calif

An FYI, The Caldor Fire is raging in The Sierra. Started in the foothills south of Placerville and moved quickly north. My wife and I had to evacuate from our home in Pollock but our home will be OK. The fire has moved up the highway 50/S Fork American River corridor and is encroaching on Desolation Wilderness. The fire is also too close to South Lake Tahoe. Luck and prayers are needed.

I am really sorry to hear about these fires, but I am glad that your home is okay.

The California drought and wildfires are really disheartening. It's sad to see so much of that beautiful state ravaged so badly by fire.
