We will continue to monitor conditions created by the Caldor Fire in the Lake Tahoe Basin to determine the appropriate next steps, taking into consideration mandatory evacuation orders, air quality, etc.
We hope our Lake families can now focus on what’s most important, and that is on their health and safety. You are all in our thoughts and prayers and we are here to support you in whatever capacity we can during these challenging times.

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.

Saw a live feed with very gusty winds…must be very specific areas
I hope things come together for everyone working that area. That will be a big strategic win.

Also keep in mind the view from the FLIR Heavenly cam is likely blocked below what we can see hot in that image. Look at Heavenly visible cam for confirmation.
