Video of Cal OES briefing from earlier this morning. Lots of general information about overall fire situation. Not all that informative about the Caldor though.

Looks like they got the Fallen Leaf and DL Bliss cams turned to the south west to keep an eye out for any spotting.

KCRA just said that State Line is under a warning

Immediate need strike team type 3 heading out from Sacramento?

KCRA coverage, commentary with copter 3 flying the south side

San Bernardino ski resorts did it twice for fires in January. It helped.

Not sure where to put this question,
Is Basecamp still in PVille at the Fairgrounds?

Looks like everybody who wanted to get out has, traffic very light compared to before. Google traffic showing some green vs purple from earlier.

Watching live TV, traffic is bumper to bumper.

It was as of last night

Where? Ski Run and the Y are pretty vacant? A couple of hour ago it was bumper to bumper on the Cal trans Cameras

That is true. They have gone dark!

Looking at live shots just east and downslope of Echo (along 50), the wind looked nominal. Feeling a bit optimistic especially with the amount of equipment in there.
