The 22,000 residents of South Lake Tahoe were issued with a new warning after the Caldor Fire encroached onto the Tahoe Basin on Sunday.
The announcement came on Sunday night after local firefighters struggled to hold back the two-week blaze.
Jeff Marsoleis, forest supervisor at El Dorado National Forest, said: “Today’s been a rough day and there’s no bones about it.”
California’s Fire Division Chief, Eric Schwad, added: “To put it in perspective, we’ve been seeing a half-mile movement on the fire’s perimeter each day for the last couple of weeks, and today, this has already moved at 2.5miles on us, with no sign that it’s starting to slow.”
